Die Notwendigkeit, sich und das eigene politische Tun via Repräsentation dauerhaft und unübersehbar im kulturellen Gedächtnis der Gesellschaften zu verankern, bildet eine Konstante im politischen Handeln der Regierenden und Mächtigen in allen komplexen urbanen Gesellschaften. Problematische politische Aktionen und Legitimationskrisen umstrittener Regenten kannten auch die Gesellschaften des Alten Orients. In ihrem mehrere tausend Jahre umfassenden Verlauf zeigt die Geschichte der altorientalischen Kulturen eine Vielzahl von Wandlungsprozessen gesellschaftlicher Verhältnisse und Wendezeiten politischer Systeme, in deren Verlauf die Mächtigen die jeweils sich neu konstituierenden Ordnungen mit einer komplexen Vielfalt an Repräsentationsbemühungen zu manifestieren suchten.

Representation of political power seems to have been necessary at all times in all complex urban societies. To secure order-to construct a certain social, ideological, religious, economic, and cultural stability-seems to be one of the main intentions of representation. When order breaks down or is threatened, political power comes under threat and the cohesion of the community is also in jeopardy. In times of impending change, crisis, or disorder, special effort is required to reassure the community of the rulers ability to maintain stability. What those in power did to convince the affected communities of their qualities as rulers, that is, their representational strategies - especially in times of change - is the subject of this book, explored through examination of case studies drawn from the ancient Near East. The volume is divided into three thematic parts: "Reestablishment of Order after Major Disruption," "Changing Order from Within," and "Perceptions of a New Order."
