Dannum-Tāḫāz

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dannum-Tāḫāz was an ancient Babylonian ruler of Ešnunna . His exact chronological position is not certain, but he seems to have usurped the throne as the predecessor or successor of Narām-Sîn . He was thus roughly a contemporary of the Zimrī-Līm of Mari on the Euphrates . As a historical person, he is secured by seals from neighboring cities, in particular Šaduppum and Neribtum .
