The book studies the history of early Babylonian kingship, as it evolved from prehistoric times down to the end of the third millennium BCE, and its reflections in the contemporaneous and later historical sources, literary texts and art. Among the chief issues it considers are the intersection between history writing and the scholarly tradition in early Babylonia, and the modern approaches toward the study of ancient and " and "historical and " and " sources.
