Person
Bar-Rakib
Bar-Rakib was a king of Sam'al, an Aramaean kingdom in south-eastern Anatolia, in the later 8th century BCE. A loyal vassal of the Assyrian king Tiglath-Pileser III, he set up Aramaic inscriptions honouring his father Panamuwa II and boasting of his own palace building. His reliefs, including one showing him enthroned before a scribe, are among the best-known finds from the site at Zincirli.
