Descrição: During the Old Babylonian period, the reign of Samsuiluna faced various challenges and conflicts in Mesopotamia. The knowledge of this period is uneven, with some time frames well-known and others remaining obscure. One example is the century following the fall of the Ur III empire, which is poorly understood. Samsuiluna himself faced largescale rebellions from areas previously conquered by his father Hammurabi. These struggles resulted in the abandonment of southern cities and the migration of communities to other settlements. The depopulation and silence in the south marked a significant moment in Old Babylonian history, known as the Late Old Babylonian period. Samsuiluna's last years were characterized by conflicts with the Sealand Dynasty and polities in the Zagros mountains. He also dealt with hydraulic issues in the Lower Diyala region and established a foothold on the Middle Euphrates. The exact details of these events and their outcomes remain uncertain, but they highlight the complex political landscape of the time.
