In recognition of Franco D’Agostino’s wide-reaching impact as a distinguished Assyriologist at Sapienza University of Rome, the essays in this volume reflect a broad range of topics within Assyriology, Archaeology, and Ancient Near Eastern History, with a particular focus on Early Mesopotamia, Ebla and the Neo-Sumerian world.
