Period
Akkadian Empire
c. 2334–2154 BCE
The Akkadian Empire joined Sumerian and Semitic-speaking cities under a dynasty traditionally founded by Sargon of Akkad. At its centre are state formation, religion, law, trade, warfare and the development of writing.
Fiction and narrative history can trace kingship, urban life, belief, social hierarchy and the fragmentary evidence for early societies through personal experience.
