Pictured here is the victory stele (made of pink limestone) celebrating the triumph of the Akkadian king Naram-Sin over a mountain people, the Lullubi. Naram-Sin led his troops over the steep slopes of the enemy territory, crushing all resistance. His victory march is coupled with the ascension of a sovereign who believed he now had the right to claim equal footing with the gods. This stele, which dates to c. 2250 B.C., illustrates the imperial art of the Akkadian Dynasty. Naram Sin was the grandson of Sargon, the founder of the Akkadian Dynasty.
