Abstracts
Paul Collins "Kings, gods and pet lions in Nineveh"
The carved relief panels that lined palace walls in Nineveh served to not only record the king’s triumphs over rebellious people and dangerous animals but, it will be argued, also actively participated within rituals of kingship that evoked the agency of the gods. Text and images worked together to establish a relationship between the monarch and a mythical past and a perfect future, thereby ensuring Assyrian kingship was timeless. Among the most celebrated of these sculptures and associated texts are depictions of King Ashurbanipal (668-about 630 BC) killing a succession of fierce lions. As well as scenes of slaughter, however, a few surviving relief panels depict what appear to be tame lions in a very different setting; their meaning can be understood in the context of the close connections between the royal family and their gods.

Jonathan Taylor "The Library of Ashurbanipal, King of the World"
The “Library" of Ashurbanipal, 7th century BC King of Assyria (northern Iraq), is one of the most important archaeological discoveries ever made. It forms the central pillar of Assyriology. Ashurbanipal combined supreme power―ruling an empire spanning ancient western Asia―with a hunger for knowledge. This scholar king assembled what seems to have been a complete collection of the scholarship known in his day. His library was destroyed in 612 BC, surviving to us in the form of 30,000 fragments of clay tablets inscribed with cuneiform texts. In the 170 years since its discovery, scholars have learned much about individual books once held in the library. Yet the library itself remains poorly understood. New research sheds important light on the royal collection. How many books were in it? How was it put together? And how did the Library change over time?

"The library of Ashurbanipal, king of the world"
(30 min talk folowed by 15 min questions)


Abstract

'The greatest king you’ve never heard of’: exhibiting Ashurbanipal at the British Museum
Gareth Brereton

At a time when public attention was again directed towards a devastating conflict in Iraq, the British Museum developed the major exhibition ‘I am Ashurbanipal: king of the world, king of Assyria’, which opened in London between November 2018 and February 2019. This exhibition explored the world of ancient Assyria through the life and legacy of its last great ruler, King Ashurbanipal. On his ascent to the throne in 669 BC, Ashurbanipal inherited a vast and diverse empire, the heartland of which was situated in present-day Iraq. This talk will reflect on the exhibition’s development, delivery and public reception. A formative evaluation of the exhibition concept showed that public knowledge of ancient Assyria was very limited. Feedback from the evaluation groups informed the exhibition structure and narrative themes. To better engage with visitors, the exhibition combined immersive displays with narrative driven content to present the story of Ashurbanipal’s reign in an accessible and engaging format. The exhibition provided an opportunity to experiment with object display, narrative content, lighting and design, all of which can inform future redisplays of the British Museum’s Assyria collections.


The library of Ashurbanipal, King of the World
Jonathan Taylor

The single most important group of cuneiform texts ever found is the remains of what was once the collection of Ashurbanipal, King of Assyria, King of the World. In the 7th century BC, he assembled what has been celebrated as the first universal library in the world. It has formed the platform on which the field of Assyriology was founded, and has continued to grow. 170 years after its discovery, there is still a lot we don’t know about the collection. Displaying such an iconic, yet highly enigmatic, collection poses many challenges. Related research now promises to help us finally begin to understand what the ‘library of Ashurbanipal’ was.

Workshop by the Research Group 05 Historical research on the urban structure of West Asian “Islamic cities”

Madinat al-Zahra was founded in 936 CE near Córdoba (Spain) as the capital of the Umayyad caliphate. Abandoned already in the early 11th century, the city is today one of the most important archaeological sites of the Islamic culture in the Western Mediterranean region and since 2018 a World Heritage site. The German Archaeological Institute and the Junta de Andalucía are currently conducting a joint five year project that focuses on the investigation of the so called Plaza de Armas. The 115 m wide and 150 m long plaza was located in front of the palace gate. In 2017 a great portico was documented which constituted the façade of the caliphal palace. This year, an administrative complex was discovered on the opposite side of the plaza, including a reception hall constructed on a platform. The hall appears to have been designed according to Abbasid prototypes and highlights the Abbasid influence on the architecture of Madinat al-Zahra. A large scale geomagnetic survey has furthermore revealed detailed information on the design of the palace garden. In the lecture, Felix Arnold will present the results of the recent excavations and present an overview of the development of Madinat al-Zahra over time.
