Abstract

The Manneans appeared in the early 9th century B.C in the cuneiform records, and sure there were existed before, they perhaps originated from the Hurrians and Kassites of the second millennium, they were spread in a vast area south, southeast and southwest of Urmia lake, its really border is not known yet, but general the Urmia basin was their homeland. Their capital city was located near modern Bokan city south of Urmia lake, they had numbers of federal regions, each region ruled by a ruler, the kings were based in their royal city Izirtu (modern Tepe Qalaichi) near modern Bokan/Bukan city.

The Mannean kings generally had good relations with the Assyrian kings, but their relation was unequal in power and their role. This paper deals with the Assyrian and Mannean diplomatic relations, their peaceful contacts, and their conflicts, the Assyrian policy against and toward Mannea, the Assyrian policy of collecting taxes, booties, deportation policy etc.
