Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book presents a collection of 72 cuneiform texts written on clay tablets that were excavated at the turn of the 20th century by the University of Pennsylvania's Babylonian Expedition. From analysis of the cuneiform scripts, the author has determined that these tablets were found in the archives of one prominent family, the Murashi Sons. Dating back to the reign of Artaxerxes I, the texts provide valuable information on the everyday lives of Babylonians during the second half of the 5th century BCE. The Murashi Sons were a wealthy and influential business family, and the tablets provide insight into their extensive landholdings, business practices, and interactions with the Persian government that ruled Babylonia at the time. As a result, these texts offer a rare glimpse into the economic and social history of ancient Babylonia and the broader history of the Persian Empire.
