Relief image on the Tablet of Shamash, British Library room 55. Found in Sippar (Tell Abu Habbah), in Ancient Babylonia, it dates from the 9th century BC and shows the sun god Shamash on the throne, in front of the Babylonian king Nabu-apla-iddina (888-855 BC) between two interceding deities. The text tells how the king made a new cultic statue for the god and gave privileges to his temple.

The King’s role was to protect his people from enemies. In Ancient Assyria, this was symbolized in the lion hunt, when the king went out to kill lions.  Lions were not uncommon in the Ancient Near East. King Ashurbanipal of Assyria noted that the hills abounded with lions who were killing cattle and humans alike.  It appears, though that the king had the lions caught for him, and brought to some sort of arena, where he could hunt the lions without having to go out and chase them.  This frieze is from the royal Palace of Ashurbanipal, exhibited in the British Museum London.

This document records a gift of land made by the king in 1090 BC to an officer who had distinguished himself in a successful campaign against Assyria. Curses are invoked on any provincial governor who subsequently questions the gift. A later addition to the text confirms that it is to be exempt from various taxes and obligations.
