Ammi-Saduqa

king of Babylon

b. 1612 BCE – d. 1561 BCE World The Great Crossroads

Ammi-Saduqa (or Ammisaduqa, Ammizaduga) is a king (ca.

1582 – 1562 BCE short chronology) of the First Dynasty of Babylon.

Some 21 year-names survive for his reign, including the first 17.

The names indicate that these years were fairly peaceful ones for the kingdom of Ammi-Saduqa, who was primarily engaged in enriching and enlarging the temples, and a few other building projects, such as building a wall at the mouth of the Euphrates in his 11th regnal year.
