阿卡德时期印文类型研究

曹明玉

提 要：在经历了早王朝阶段漫长的发展之后，两河流域文明的滚印在阿卡德时期出现了飞跃性的发展，表现出了全新的特点：印文的使用变得更为普及，图案内容更为复杂，类型更为多样。阿卡德王国是两河流域首个统一地域国家。印文的这种发展状况与阿卡德王国领土持续扩张、王权观念日渐强化、国王采取一系列手段确立和巩固中央政府的统治密切相关，是统治者为增强被征服地区和民族在政治、文化上的认同感而采取的一系列重要措施之一。

Abstract:Akkadian

Kingdom was the first regional unified state in Mesopotamian

history. Having used during the era of Early Dynasties, the

seal inscriptions acquired a great development at a

substantial speed during the Akkadian Period. The adoption

of the seal inscriptions became more popular, the seal

patterns became more complex, and the styles of the seals

became more abundant. These changes were closely related to

the continuous territorial expansion of the Kingdom, the

gradual reinforcement of the kingship, and the king’s

adoption of a series of measures to establish and

consolidate the rule of the central government. In light of

this fact, it was clear that the rulers of the Akkadian

Kingdom took a series of important measures to enhance its

unity and power.
