Document Details : Title: King Samsu-iluna's Financial Problems Subtitle: A New Text Author(s): STOL, Marten Journal: Anatolica Volume: 41 Date: 2015 Pages: 23-35 DOI: 10.2143/ANA.41.0.3127287 Abstract : The reign of the Old Babylonian king Samsu-iluna had its ups and downs. Best known are the revolts quenched by him, as he proudly relates in his inscriptions. He remains silent about his financial problems, the collecting of taxes and recovering outstanding debts. The two texts presented here show that he took action at last and some of his cities even had to sell property in order to pay him off. |
