Attašušu

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Attašušu was an Elamite regent of Susa and nephew of Silhaha . Several Akkadian inscriptions have come down to us, according to which he carried out construction work on temples in Susa. In particular, he completed the temple of the moon god, the construction of which had already begun under his predecessors. In addition to sacred buildings, his construction activity mainly served to strengthen fortified structures. It is also recorded that he erected a stele on the market square in Susa with a list of publicly fixed purchase prices.
