Hattusili, the Hittite Prince Who Stole an Empire

Partner and Rival of Ramesses the Great

Beschreibung

"This accessible and gripping biography documents the life and reign of one of the most famous and well-documented Hittite rulers. Hattusili ruled over the ancient kingdom of Anatolia (modern Turkey) during the 2nd millennium BC and was a political rival and, at the same time, treaty-partner of the Egyptian pharaoh Ramesses the Great. Trevor Bryce offers a chronological account of Hattusili, charting the rise of the Bronze Age Hittite prince from a sickly childhood to become - by ruthless ambition, an illegal coup and a civil war - the most powerful ruler of the ancient Near East"--
