Summary: | In the second third of the 19th century BC, the kingdom of Larsa in southern Mesopotamia went through a politically tumultuous phase. During this period, an individual with a complex identity emerges: Kudur-Mabuk, a man of Elamite origin, whose political career can be traced back to the reign of Sin-iddinam (1849-1843 BCE), when he was stationed at Maškan-šapir in Emutbal. Only a decade later, he would witness his sons Warad-Sin (1834-1823 BCE) and later Rim-Sin (1822-1763 BCE) becoming kings. Kudur-Mabuk appears as a powerful figure in the kingdom of Larsa, without having been king himself. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the political identity of this ruler without a crown. |
