Three New Kings of Assyria
New Light on the Land of Sūḫu
In this review article, Philippe Clancier’s recent monograph on the history of the overlooked Late Bronze and Early Iron-age polity of Sūḫu lying on the Middle Euphrates is examined. It is demonstrated that the central contention of two identically named polities of Sūḫu (“Eastern” and “Western Sūḫu” respectively), ruled by two competing dynasties with differing political relationships to Assyria, is not supported by the textual record. As a corr…

Building upon this finding, we propose a new history of Tell Billa during the…
