Naram-Sin of Eshnunna

Last updated January 30, 2026

Naram-Sin (died c. 1809 BC) was the King of Eshnunna for at least nine years,^[1] during its brief time of political power.^[2]

He is known to be the son of Ipiq-Adad II, king of Eshnunna.

He succeeded his father on the throne and reigned around 1818-1809 BC.^[3]

Some 11 year-names have survived.^[4]

He was contemporary of Shamshi-Adad I, the future king of the Kingdom of Upper Mesopotamia.^[5] Shamshi-Adad was apparently ousted from his city by Naram-Sin which led to a brief exile in Babylon.

He continued the expansion of Eshnunna begun by his father, Ipiq-Adad II. He raided the Khabur triangle up to Ašnakkum.^[6]

An inscription praying for the king's peace was found in Kythira.^[7]
