Person

Anubanini

Anubanini was a king of the Lullubi, a mountain people of the Zagros, in the late third millennium BCE. He is known from a rock relief at Sar-e Pol-e Zahab in western Iran, showing him standing over defeated enemies before the goddess Inanna (Ishtar), in a style copying Akkadian royal monuments. An Akkadian inscription with the relief records his victories.
