The Hittite Suzerainty Treaties

The Hittite chancery

Treaties between a great king and his vassals, all built to one pattern: the king names himself, recites the history of what he has already done for the vassal, states the stipulations, orders the tablet deposited in the temple and read aloud periodically, calls the gods to witness, and lists the blessings and curses.
