Iddin-Sin

r. c. 2000 BCE · 21st century BCE

Iddin-Sin was a king of Simurrum, a hill kingdom of the Zagros foothills, around the end of the Ur III period, about 2000 BCE. He and his son Zabazuna left inscriptions in Akkadian and a rock relief celebrating victories over their neighbours, which reveal a brief period of independent power after the collapse of Ur's empire.
