Abstract

There was no firm established succession rule in the Assyrian Empire, and the choice of successor depended only on the volition of the ruler who voted for one of his sons. Just during the life of his father, Assyrian crown prince was initiated into the various activities related to control of the state in order to get up the obligations of the ruler. The prince was also firmly connected with the cultic sphere. His ritual purity and the right activities were in the hands of the foremost scholars of the Assyrian royal court.
