Document Details : Title: «Il faut que vos gardes soient fortes!» Subtitle: Une lettre de Sūmu-El sur la guerre entre Isin et Larsa Author(s): CHAMBON, Grégory , GUICHARD, Michaël Journal: Semitica Volume: 57 Date: 2015 Pages: 33-42 DOI: 10.2143/SE.57.0.3115454 Abstract : The discovery of an Old Babylonian letter sent by King Sūmu-El of Larsa to his generals adds to the dossier of conflicts that shook southern Mesopotamia in the XIXth century B.C. It seems that the city of Larsa suffers military pressure from its rival Isin and must quickly organize the kingdom's defence. These events probably took place at the end of Sūmu-El's reign, which was concluded by a major disaster. |
