Daily Life In Ancient Mesopotamia by Karen Rhea Nemet-Nejat
A clear, comprehensive portrait of everyday life in the civilizations of Sumer, Akkad, Babylonia, and Assyria, tracing how people lived at home and at work, what they ate and wore, how they learned, worshiped, traded, healed, celebrated, and were governed. Drawing on cuneiform texts, law codes, myths, and archaeological finds, it explores family and gender roles, class and slavery, urban and rural life, and the evolution of institutions over millennia, making the ancient Near East tangible through the routines, beliefs, and material culture of ordinary people.
