Shalmaneser I

Shalmaneser I

Shalmaneser I ("Shulmanu-asharidu"), king of Assyria. (1274 BC – 1245 BC or 1265 BC - 1235 BC)

Son of Adad-nirari I, he succeeded his father as King in 1265 BC.

According to his annals, discovered at Assur, in his first year he conquered eight countries in the north-west and destroyed the fortress of Arinnu, the dust of which he brought to Assur. In his second year he defeated Shattuara, king of Hanilgalbat, and his Hittite and Ahlamu allies. He incorporated remains of Mittani kingdom, as part of one of the Assyrian province. Shalmaneser I also claimed to have blinded 14,400 enemy prisoners in one eye. He was one of the first Assyrian kings who was known to deport his defeated enemies to various lands rather than simply slaughtering them all.

He conquered the whole country from Taidu to Irridu, all of mount Kashiar to Eluhat and the fortresses of Sudu, Harranu to Carchemish on the Euphrates. He built palaces at Assur and Nineveh, restored "the world-temple" at Assur, and founded the city of Nimrud. He was succeeded by his son Tukulti-Ninurta I.

Limmu Officials by Year

Annual limmu officials beginning with the year of accession of Šulmanu-ašared. The list is partly deprived from Freydank [Helmut Freydank, AoF 3 (2005), 45-56.] and McIntyre [ [http://www.geocities.com/farfarer2001/eponyms/shalmaneser_1/shalmaneser1_summary.html Eponyms of Shalmaneser 1 - Summary ] ] . The exact order of the earliest limmus is conjectural but the ordering from Šerriya onwards is essentially fixed.
