This book provides the first comprehensive and up-to-date edition of the official royal inscriptions from the Neo-Babylonian Empire (626–539 BCE), a period known for figures such as Nabopolassar, Nebuchadnezzar II, and Nabonidus. Rocío Da Riva presents a critical analysis and edition of all known royal inscriptions from this era, including newly discovered and previously unpublished texts.

Each inscription is presented with a transliteration from Akkadian, an English translation, philological commentary, and historical context. The volume also includes a general introduction to Neo-Babylonian royal ideology, epigraphy, and administrative practices, making it a valuable resource for scholars of Assyriology, Near Eastern history, and ancient studies.

This work is essential for understanding the political and religious propaganda of the Neo-Babylonian rulers and provides deep insight into their strategies for legitimizing power, expressing divine favor, and shaping imperial identity.
