| Summary: | Recent scholarly trends diminish Nabû-kudurrī-uṣur’s II (Nebuchadnezzar’s II) military achievements in general while, at the same time, amplifying hypothetical martial accomplishments of Psammetichus II in the Levant. This paper argues that Nabû-kudurrī-uṣur’s military reputation should be maintained and that during his reign Egyptian advances in the Levant were decidedly modest. |
