The titles and the order they were presented in varied from king to king, with similarities between kings usually being because of a king's explicit choice to align himself with a predecessor. Some titles, like the Akkadian <i><a href="/wiki/King_of_the_Four_Corners" title="King of the Four Corners">šar kibrāt erbetti</a></i> ("king of the Four Corners of the World") and <i><a href="/wiki/King_of_the_Universe" title="King of the Universe">šar kiššatim</a></i> ("king of the Universe") and the <a href="/wiki/Third_Dynasty_of_Ur" title="Third Dynasty of Ur">Neo-Sumerian</a> <i><a href="/wiki/King_of_Sumer_and_Akkad" title="King of Sumer and Akkad">šar māt Šumeri u Akkadi</a></i> ("king of Sumer and Akkad") would remain in use for more than a thousand years through several different empires and others were only used by a single king. </p><p>In the Akkadian-speaking kingdoms of <a href="/wiki/Assyria" title="Assyria">Assyria</a> and <a href="/wiki/Babylonia" title="Babylonia">Babylonia</a>, distinct styles of Akkadian titulature would develop, retaining titles and elements of earlier kings but applying new royal traditions.

Universalizing titles like "king of the Universe" may have simply been appealing in lacking a geographical specification and that the king would not have to confine his realm to include just Babylon or Mesopotamia (which would have resulted from a title like "king of Sumer and Akkad").<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEStevens201475_17-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEStevens201475-17"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>17<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> Similar to how Cyrus the Great stressed that his lineage was royal despite him not being born to the Babylonian throne, Antiochus titulary contains the information that he is the son and heir of <a href="/wiki/Seleucus_I_Nicator" title="Seleucus I Nicator">Seleucus I Nicator</a> (the first Seleucid king, r. 305–281 BC), who is referred to as "the Macedonian", connecting him with the kingship of <a href="/wiki/Alexander_the_Great" title="Alexander the Great">Alexander the Great</a> and his line and granting Antiochus further legitimacy.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEStevens201477_15-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEStevens201477-15"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>15<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Examples_of_titles">Examples of titles</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Akkadian_royal_titulary&amp;action=edit&amp;section=5" title="Edit section: Examples of titles"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Titles_centering_on_the_king's_person"><span id="Titles_centering_on_the_king.27s_person"></span>Titles centering on the king's person</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Akkadian_royal_titulary&amp;action=edit&amp;section=6" title="Edit section: Titles centering on the king&#039;s person"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Descriptive titles similar to epithets, titles which center on the king's person.

title="Assyria">Assyria</a> as a basket-bearer. Kings only expressed inferiority and humility before the divine, often using epithets to describe themselves as "providers" for the gods. Currently housed in the <a href="/wiki/British_Museum" title="British Museum">British Museum</a>.</figcaption></figure> <p>Royal epithets generally served to highlight the qualities of a specific king, many rulers having at least some unique epithets. Typical of Babylonian titles is focusing on the benevolent and coercive attributes of any one given king with only few references to violence. Neo-Assyrian rulers, including Ashurbanipal, Esarhaddon and Shamash-shuma-ukin, frequently employed the epithet <i>rē’û kēnu</i> (meaning "righteous shepherd") to illustrate royal benevolence. Wisdom and competence are also common points of focus, Esarhaddon is for instance referred to as <i>itpēšu ḫāsis kal šipri</i> ("competent one who knows every craft").<i><b><sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEKarlsson201713_50-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEKarlsson201713-50"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>50<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup></b></i> </p><p>Many epithets are religious in nature, usually focusing on the king as a "provider" (<i>zānin</i>) for the gods in some capacity, provider here meaning that the king is fulfilling his duty of providing required nourishments for the deities and keeping their temples in good condition. Considering the boastful nature of Esarhaddon's titles, his epithet <i>kanšu</i> ("submissive") may seem strange, his title <i>šarru šaḫtu</i> ("humble king") likewise so, but these titles refer to humility and inferiority in regards to the gods, for which this was appropriate. The Assyrian king would never have acknowledged inferiority in the earthly sphere.<i><b><sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEKarlsson201713_50-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEKarlsson201713-50"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>50<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup></b></i> </p><p>Epithets often also illustrate the king as <a href="/wiki/Divine_right_of_kings" title="Divine right of kings">selected to rule by the gods</a>, the chosen words typically being <i>migru</i> ("favourite") and/or <i>nibītu</i> ("designate"). Shamash-shuma-ukin refers to himself as <i>migir Enlil Šamaš u Marduk</i> ("favourite of Enlil, Shamash and Marduk") and Esarhaddon refers to himself as <i>nibīt Marduk Ṣarpanītu</i> ("designate of Marduk (and) Sarpanit"). Marking the Assyrian king as the choice of the gods would have further legitimized his rule.<i><b><sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEKarlsson201715_52-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEKarlsson201715-52"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>52<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup></b></i> The king respecting the divine is sometimes expressed with words like <i>palāḫu</i> ("to fear") or <i>takālu</i> ("to trust in"). Ashurbanipal has the epithet <i>rubû pāliḫšu/ša</i> ("prince who fears him/her"). Religious epithets can also speak of the king's piety through his actions, typically focusing on construction (often utilizing the word <i>epēšu</i>, "build" or "make"). Shamash-shuma-ukin refers to himself as <i>ēpiš Esagila</i> ("he who (re)constructed Esagila"), referring to a major temple in Babylon.<i><b><sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEKarlsson201716_53-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEKarlsson201716-53"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>53<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup></b></i> </p><p>Another common theme for epithets is the king's relation to his people. Esarhaddon again being an example, he refers to himself as <i>maḫīru kīnu ešēru ebūru napāš Nisaba ušaššû ina māti</i> ("he who brought stable prices, successful harvests, (and) an abundance of grain to the land").<i><b><sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEKarlsson201714_30-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEKarlsson201714-30"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>30<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup></b></i> </p><p>Assyrian epithets often emphasize the king as a military leader and relates war to the divine as an issue part of the idea of universal rule. Epithets like "the god Aššur gave me the power to let cities fall into ruins and to enlarge Assyrian territory" are common.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTESoares201721_2-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTESoares201721-2"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Examples_of_royal_titularies">Examples of royal titularies</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Akkadian_royal_titulary&amp;action=edit&amp;section=13" title="Edit section: Examples of royal titularies"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p><b>Old Assyrian titulary: Ashur-nirari I</b> </p><p> In one of his inscriptions, <a href="/wiki/Ashur-nirari_I" title="Ashur-nirari I">Ashur-nirari I</a>, who reigned 1529–1503 BC, uses the following titles<b><sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTELuckenbill192617_24-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTELuckenbill192617-24"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>24<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup></b>:<style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1244412712">.mw-parser-output .templatequote{overflow:hidden;margin:1em 0;padding:0 32px}.mw-parser-output .templatequotecite{line-height:1.5em;text-align:left;margin-top:0}@media(min-width:500px){.mw-parser-output .templatequotecite{padding-left:1.6em}}</style></p><blockquote class="templatequote"><p>Viceroy of the god Assur, son of Ishme-Dagan, viceroy of the god Assur, builder of the temple of Bêl, the elder.</p></blockquote> <p><b>Middle Assyrian titulary: Tukulti-Ninurta I</b> </p><p> In one of his inscriptions, <a href="/wiki/Tukulti-Ninurta_I" title="Tukulti-Ninurta I">Tukulti-Ninurta I</a>, who reigned 1233–1197 BC, uses the following titles<b><sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTELuckenbill192665_54-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTELuckenbill192665-54"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>54<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup></b>:<link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1244412712"></p><blockquote class="templatequote"><p>King of the Universe, the mighty king, the king of Assyria, favorite of Assur, priest of Assur, rightful ruler, beloved of Ishtar, who subjected the Kuti to their farthest border; son of Shalmaneser, priest of Assur, grandson of Adad-nirari, priest of Assur.</p></blockquote> <p><b>Kassite titulary: Kurigalzu</b> </p><p> In one of his inscriptions, the <a href="/wiki/Kassites" title="Kassites">Kassite</a> king Kurigalzu (there were two kings of this name; <a href="/wiki/Kurigalzu_I" title="Kurigalzu I">Kurigalzu I</a> and <a href="/wiki/Kurigalzu_II" title="Kurigalzu II">Kurigalzu II</a>, it is unclear which one of them used these titles)<b><sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEFoster2005365_55-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEFoster2005365-55"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>55<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup></b>:<link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1244412712"></p><blockquote class="templatequote"><p>Great king, mighty king, <a href="/wiki/King_of_the_Universe" title="King of the Universe">king of the Universe</a>, favorite of Anu and Enlil, nominated (for kingship) by the lord of the gods am I!
