Description

Local Power in Old Babylonian Mesopotamia. By ANDREA SERI. Studies in Egyptology and the Ancient Near East. London: EQUINOX Publishing Limited, 2006. Pp. xvi + 240, maps. $95. [Distrib. in North America by David Brown Book Co., Oakville, Conn.] This book studies the authorities in the Old Babylonian city: the mayor, the elders, the "members of the city," the assembly. It is the first time since the work of A. Walther in 1917 that an investigation on such a broad scale has been undertaken. Since then, the textual evidence has increased enormously--think only of the Mari texts, not known at that time--and this book is most welcome. The book also has a focus: to study the interaction between the State and local authorities (pp. 28, 184, 191).
