Countries, in: HHE 271-312. [Ch. 6; DOI: https://doi.org/10.1515/9783110661781-007. Abstract: The present chapter aims at highlighting the strategies and mechanisms
of governance that the Hittite empire employed at the acme of its territorial
expansion and in the best-documented phase of its history, i.e., from the
middle of the fourteenth until the end of the thirteenth century BCE, in order
to successfully rule and maintain control over a vast and varied territory that encompassed
most of Western, Central, and Southern Anatolia and extended eastward
just beyond the course of the Euphrates, embracing the Northern Levant
and parts of Upper Mesopotamia. The impact, nature, and extent of Hatti’s
rule will be analyzed mainly on the basis of the textual evidence, in particular
with regard to the empire’s influence on the political, military, and economic organization
of the subordinated countries.] Neue Abfrage | New Search
