Book Description

Framing messages into narrative shapes has served as a legitimating strategy of ancient and modern potentates. In the Ancient Near East, these narratives took the form of both texts and images, media that found constant application in the in the creation and affirmation of identity and royalty. The volume reflects upon both from a transdisciplinary and transmedial point of view, joining scholars from Archaeology as well as Assyriology.
