href="/wiki/Assur" title="Assur">Assur</a>. In modern scholarship, some Assyriologists choose to employ different spellings for the god vis-a-vis the city as a means to differentiate between them. In the Old Assyrian Period, both the city and the god were commonly spelled as A-šùr. The god Ashur was spelled as dA-šur, A-šur, dA-šùr or A-šùr, and from the comparative data there seems to be a bigger general reluctance to use the divine determinative in Anatolia in comparison to data from the city of Assur itself.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEHirsch19616-2">[2]</a> From the Middle Assyrian period onwards, Aššur was generally spelled as Aš-šur, for the god, the city and the state (māt Aššur = Assyria). Ashur's name was written once as AN.ŠÁR on a bead of <a href="/wiki/Tukulti-Ninurta_I" title="Tukulti-Ninurta I">Tukulti-Ninurta I</a>. In the inscriptions of <a href="/wiki/Sargon_II" title="Sargon II">Sargon II</a> Ashur was sometimes referred to as <a href="/wiki/Anshar" title="Anshar">Anshar</a>, and under <a href="/wiki/Sennacherib" title="Sennacherib">Sennacherib</a> it became a common systemic way to spell his name.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBeaulieu199764-3">[3]</a> After the fall of the Assyrian state, Ashur continued to be revered as Anshar in Neo-Babylonian <a href="/wiki/Uruk" title="Uruk">Uruk</a>. As Assyrian kings were generally reluctant to enforce worship of Ashur in subject areas, it is assumed that Ashur was introduced to Uruk naturally by Assyrians.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBeaulieu2003332-4">[4]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="History">History</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Ashur_(god)&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: History">edit</a>]</div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Third_Millennium_BCE">Third Millennium BCE</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Ashur_(god)&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Third Millennium BCE">edit</a>]</div> Little is known about the city of Assur in the Third Millennium, but the city may have had a religious significance.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTELambert198385-5">[5]</a> While the city did contain a temple dedicated to their own localised Ishtar (Ishtar of Assur), there are no known mentions of Ashur as a distinct deity,<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEValk2018107-6">[6]</a> and it is unknown if the cult of Ashur existed at this time,<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMaul2017338-7">[7]</a> although the possibility cannot be ruled out because of scarcity of evidence.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEValk2018107-6">[6]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Old_Assyrian_Period">Old Assyrian Period</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Ashur_(god)&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: Old Assyrian Period">edit</a>]</div> The <a href="/wiki/Old_Assyrian_Period" class="mw-redirect" title="Old Assyrian Period">Old Assyrian Period</a> is contemporary with the Isin-Larsa and Old Babylonian Periods in southern Mesopotamia after the city became independent from Ur. During the Old Assyrian period, the temple to the god was built and maintained by the residences of the city. Ashur started to appear in texts such as treaties and royal inscriptions, and the king traced their legitimacy to the god.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEValk2018127-8">[8]</a> In the Old Assyrian period, the kings never assumed the title of king, instead referring to themselves as the governor (iššiak) or city ruler (rubā'um), reserving the title of king instead for Ashur.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEPongratz-Leisten2015103-9">[9]</a> Pongratz-Leisten notes that similar cases could be found in Pre-Sargonic <a href="/wiki/Lagash" title="Lagash">Lagash</a>, where the kings of Lagash designated themselves as the ENSI (governor) of Lagash, and also in <a href="/wiki/Eshnunna" title="Eshnunna">Eshnunna</a>, especially since the early kings of Eshnunna addressed <a href="/wiki/Tishpak" title="Tishpak">Tishpak</a> with titles traditionally associated with kings such as "king of the four corners."<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEPongratz-Leisten2015108-10">[10]</a> However, in the Old Assyrian Period the king was not yet the chief priest of Ashur.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEVeenhofEidem2008104-11">[11]</a> The earliest expression of the god Ashur being the king of the city with the ruler being his representative was in Silulu's seal, where the opening lines were "Ashur is king, Silulu is the governor (iššiak) of Assur." The inscription ended with the phrase ARAD-ZU, linking the seal with the <a href="/wiki/Third_Dynasty_of_Ur" title="Third Dynasty of Ur">Ur III</a> administration,<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEEppihimer201342-12">[12]</a> but instead of a presentation scene, a triumphant figure is shown trampling on an enemy, bearing resemblance to <a href="/wiki/Naram-Sin_of_Akkad" title="Naram-Sin of Akkad">Naram-Sin</a>'s pose on <a href="/wiki/Victory_Stele_of_Naram-Sin" title="Victory Stele of Naram-Sin">his victory stela</a> and the lost depiction of <a href="/wiki/Shu-Sin" title="Shu-Sin">Shu-Sin</a> trampling on his enemy.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEEppihimer201342-12">[12]</a> Coupled with the ideology of Ashur being the king of the city, the victorious figure could represent Ashur. <a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEEppihimer201342-12">[12]</a><a href="#cite_note-13">[a]</a> The <a href="/w/index.php?title=Puzur-Assur&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Puzur-Assur (page does not exist)">Puzur-Assur</a> dynasty reused the presentation scene, which depicts a worshipper (the seal owner) being led by a goddess to a seated god. Considering that the owner of the seal was the Assyrian ruler, it is likely that the seated god is Ashur.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEEppihimer201343-14">[13]</a> Almost half of Old Assyrian theophoric names feature the god Ashur, with around another 4 percent featuring ālum (city) which referred to the city of Assur. However, it is not clear whether the term Aššur in the names refers to the god or the city.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEValk2018128-15">[14]</a> Theophoric names involving Ashur are generally exclusively Assyrian.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEValk2018154-155-16">[15]</a> Outside of the city of Assur, Assyrian merchant colonies in Anatolia constructed sanctuaries to the god Ashur,<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEValk2018137-17">[16]</a> which included the objects like his statue and his dagger and knife/spear.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEVeenhofEidem200856-18">[17]</a> Oaths were sworn<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEVeenhofEidem2008103-19">[18]</a> and verdicts were issued<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEValk2018139-20">[19]</a> in front of the dagger. The dagger seemed to have also received libations.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEVeenhofEidem2008155-21">[20]</a> The weapon of Ashur, more famously known to have been placed in Assyrian provincial centres and client states in the Neo-Assyrian period,<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTECogan197453-22">[21]</a> were also known in the Old Assyrian period and were seemingly used in ordeals (together with the sword of Ashur and another symbol of Ashur)<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEHolloway2002167-168-23">[22]</a> where the defendant would have to draw the weapon out from its sheath, as the guilty would be unable to draw out the weapon due to divine refusal.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTECogan197454-24">[23]</a> Traders would swear by the names of gods such as Ashur, <a href="/wiki/Ishtar" class="mw-redirect" title="Ishtar">Ishtar</a>, Ishtar-ZA-AT, and <a href="/wiki/Nisaba" title="Nisaba">Nisaba</a> that they were speaking truth. <a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEVeenhofEidem2008103-19">[18]</a>Traders are often encouraged to go back to the city of Assur to pay homage to Ashur.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEVeenhofEidem2008104-11">[11]</a> In 1808 BCE, <a href="/wiki/Shamshi-Adad_I" title="Shamshi-Adad I">Shamshi-Adad</a> captured Assur, dethroned the Assyrian king and incorporated Assur into his kingdom.
