Die vorliegende Abhandlung widmet sich den archäologischen Belegen für Baudekor im Mesopotamien des zweiten Jahrtausends v. Chr. und versucht unter Berücksichtigung verschiedener zeitgenössischer Quellen die unterschiedlichen Aspekte dieser architektonischen Ausdrucksform zu beleuchten.0Im Vordergrund stehen Sakralbauten, da die Fülle an Belegen sie als den bevorzugten und nicht selten einzigen Träger der hier behandelten Formen des Baudekors ausweist. Der plastische Baudekor an den Außen- und Hoffassaden altorientalischer Tempel ist neben ihrer monumentalen Bauweise einer der unmittelbarsten architektonischen Formalismen, mit deren Hilfe der sakrale Raum bildkräftig von der übrigen Stadtbebauung abgegrenzt wird. Die ostentative Morphologie sakraler Baukörper unterstreicht die architektonische Distinktion zwischen ?Tempeln?, ?Wohnhäusern? oder ?Palästen?, die im altorientalischen Sprachverständnis deutlich unschärfer zu Tage tritt. Darüber hinaus bilden die oft über Jahrhunderte gepflegten Sakralbauten innerhalb des wechselhaften urbanen Umfelds eine wichtige architektonische Konstante und stehen in dieser Hinsicht den zumeist kurzlebigeren Palast- und Profanbauten entgegen.0Die sakrale Architektur wird dadurch zu einem bedeutenden und vor allem dauerhaften Bezugspunkt für die räumliche Orientierung der Stadtbewohner und ist daher nicht nur als leblose, räumliche Kulisse der Gesellschaft zu verstehen, sondern als eigenständiges, aktives und lenkendes System, dessen Kommunikationspotential selbst nach Jahrtausenden nicht erloschen ist

This is an examination, in 30 chapters, of all aspects of the ancient Assyrian empire and its relationship to "empire theory" and the study of empires in general, explicating Assyria as the first of the genuine empires. The discussion also examines how ancient empires contribute to our understanding, despite differences, of modern empires.

La 4ème de couv. indique : "Entre désert aride et riches vallées fluviales, se sont développés des civilisations brillantes et ouvertes. Au tout début du IIIe millénaire avant notre ère, les Sumériens y ont inventé l'écriture cunéiforme, l'agriculture céréalière irriguée, la civilisation urbaine autour de vastes palais ainsi que les premières formes de l'État. Par la suite, alors que les caravanes des marchands allant de l'Anatolie jusqu'à la vallée de l'Indus dessinent les routes commerciales et transportent métaux et produits précieux, les rois font mettre par écrit la législation, établir les règles de la comptabilité publique et de la diplomatie... Au tournant du Ier millénaire, la Mésopotamie est le centre de gravité de grands empires : assyrien, babylonien, puis perse achéménide. Leurs capitales ont laissé des vestiges impressionnants et l'activité de leurs scribes nous a transmis l'essentiel de leur tradition écrite, associant les Annales royales assyriennes, l'Épopée de Gilgamesh ou l'astrologie mésopotamienne... Depuis la redécouverte, au milieu du XIXe siècle, des restes architecturaux de cette civilisation et le déchiffrement de milliers de textes cunéiformes, les historiens ont pu reconstituer l'essentiel des événements qui ont scandé 3 000 ans de l'histoire du Proche-Orient mésopotamien. Cet ouvrage a pour ambition de présenter, sur la longue durée, une vision des lieux et des acteurs de cette histoire, de mettre en évidence l'inventivité de leurs réalisations et l'importance de l'héritage matériel et culturel qu'ils nous ont laissé."

Women's history and histories of the body and sexuality in antiquity can be written for much earlier civilisations than those of ancient Greece and Rome. Women of Babylon investigates the representation of women and the concepts of femininity and sex that prevailed in ancient Mesopotamia, providing the first book-length study of its kind on an ancient Near Eastern culture." "The work provides a useful overview of feminist theory as it has developed over the past three decades in the areas of art history and archaeology and also offers a clear exposition of current feminist debates. The relationship of postmodernism, poststructuralism, post-colonialism and feminist theory is analysed, as well as the question of their relevance to the study of antiquity. These discussions should be useful for students of antiquity in general. The author also outlines a framework for an entirely new methodology in the study of women and gender in Near Eastern antiquity

The current investigation has been divided into three main chapters. In the first two chapters, the primary focus is the relationship between Ninurta and kingship. The first chapter gives a diachronic overview of the cult of Ninurta during all historical periods of ancient Mesopotamia. This chapter shows that the conception of Ninurta’s identity with the king was present in Mesopotamian religion already in the third millennium BC. Ninurta was the god of Nippur, the religious centre of Sumerian cities, and his most important attribute was his sonship to Enlil. While the mortal gods were frequently called the sons of Enlil, the status of the king converged with that of Ninurta at his coronation, through the determination of the royal fate, carried out by the divine council of gods in Nippur. The fate of Ninurta parallels the fate of the king after the investiture.
