Book description

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.

Reviews

‘With Making, Glatz has written a monograph that is both an exciting application and case study of the archaeology of imperialism, and a comprehensive archaeological treatment of an empire that has never adequately received one … the most significant booklength treatment of the Hittite Empire for many years to come, and has immediately emerged as essential reading for all those interested in this time and place.’

‘… a major reference work for any student and scholar of ancient Anatolia, as well as of ancient empires, writ large.’
