In this book, Claudia Glatz reconsiders the concept of empire and
the processes of imperial making and undoing of the Hittite network
in Late Bronze Age Anatolia. Using an array of archaeological,
iconographic, and textual sources, she offers a fresh account of
one of the earliest, well-attested imperialist polities of the
ancient Near East. Glatz critically examines the complexity and
ever - transforming nature of imperial relationships, and the
practices through which Hittite elites and administrators aimed to
bind disparate communities and achieve a measure of sovereignty in
particular places and landscapes. She also tracks the ambiguities
inherent in these practices -- what they did or did not achieve,
how they were resisted, and how they were subtly negotiated in
different regional and cultural contexts.
