Nebuchadnezzar II’s Prism (EŞ 7834): A New Edition

  • Rocio Da Riva

Abstract:

The Nebuchadnezzar II prism EŞ 7834 (Istanbul Archaeological Museum) is an unusual royal inscription. It refers to the building works to enlarge the Old Palace at Babylon, and it is stylistically related to the Nebuchadnezzar building inscription preserved on cylinder C34. But EŞ 7834 also contains long lists of provincial and imperial officials, which can be used as a base to study the administrative structures of the Neo-Babylonian state.
