The Mesopotamian civilisation contains a mystifying array of names, places, kings, kingdoms and so forth, which makes reference books such as this one invaluable. This handy guide includes all manner of entries from rulers and prominent figures in Mesopotamian history, to aspects of everyday life: agriculture, archives, eunuchs, festivals, pottery, weapons and writing. It also includes a short introduction to the Mesopotamian civilisation and appendices listing rulers and museums with Mesopotamian collections.
