The Location of Tiliura City according to Cuneiform Documents (II)

Abstract

Tiliura, which was open to new settlements during the period of the reign of Muršili II and which gained an important position as a city especially with the Hattušili III, was situated in the common residential border district of Hatti-Kaška countries and on the transition route to Azzi-Hayaša. Tiliura had an exceptional situation and position by virtue of some certain privileges and obligations assigned to it. Tiliura's special status derives from its geopolitical location (this geopolitical location became increasingly important in the Hittite Empire period). In our study, the location of this border city and its nearby geography are evaluated.
