The sugÄgum in the Kingdom of Mari (XIX-XVIII BC). Diverging logics
Main Article Content
Abstract
During the Old Babylonian period (ca. 2000-1600 BC.), the Kingdom of Mari, on the Middle Euphrates river, excels due to the complexity of its ethnic and socio-political structure, in which distinctive elements typical of the state urban tradition and mobile herding groups -identified with tribal political practices- coexisted. Hence too the complexity of the socio-political relationships established within this society, relationships that need to be analysed without the prejudices that place nomad and sedentary people in unequal positions within an evolutionary scale. Throughout several letters from the Mari Royal Archive, it is possible to track the presence of the sugÄgums submerged in the grid of these diverging logics, where they bore pliable posts. The aim of this paper is to inquire the flexibility of such posts
