Organization, Representation, and Symbols of Power in the Ancient Near East

Proceedings of the 54th Rencontre Assyriologique Internationale at Würzburg 20–25 Jul

About this book

In July, 2008, the International Association for Assyriology met in Würzburg, Germany, for 5 days to deliver and listen to papers on the theme "Organization, Representation, and Symbols of Power in the Ancient Near East." This volume, the proceedings of the conference, contains 70 of the papers read at the 54th annual Rencontre, including most of the papers from two workshop sessions, one on "collective governance" and the other on "the public and the state." As the photo of the participants on the back cover demonstrates, the surroundings and ambience of the host city and university provided a wonderful backdrop for the meetings.
