- W4293750802 abstract "Abstract After the Akkadian empire, Gudea of Lagash ruled one of the few stable kingdoms, modeling his reign on the Early Dynastic kings, rather than on warlike Akkadian rulers. The same was true of kings the Third Dynasty of Ur (2112–2000 bce) that followed. Ur-Namma conquered a wide region but did not emphasize this. Instead, he is known as the author of the earliest extant law collection, and as the man who commissioned the first ziggurats (stepped temple towers). The chapter investigates the daily life of a brickmaker who helped construct the Ur ziggurat: his working conditions and output, the number of bricks needed, the work-hours involved, and the technologies of construction. Moving on to the legal system, an overview of Ur-Namma’s laws is followed by a study of a court case, showing how the judicial system worked. The case is one in which one woman accused another of not repaying a loan completely. In court, the judge used witnesses and oaths to arrive at a verdict. A court was also used to try a runaway slave, Lu-Nanna. This episode highlights the lives and definitions of slaves in this era, efforts to capture escaped slaves, prisons, fines, and rewards imposed by judges. Next comes a short study of abandoned children who worked for the temples and were provided with rations. The last biography is of the deified king Shulgi, who reorganized the cities of his empire, created a new tax system, installed governors, and founded a redistribution center to process taxes." @default.
