The pages included under the "Early First Millennium Rulers" tab are intended to provide general information about the rulers of Babylonia from 978 to 729 BC. Click on the names of any ruler's name to the left (or below) to view a short biography of his reign. Note that the links to the left are arranged alphabetically, rather than chronologically (as they are below).
To learn more about the official inscriptions of these rulers, click on the "Inscriptions" link beneath the king's name. Note that this option is available only when you are viewing a king's bio page.
