Abstract

It is understood that Assyrian kings administered the country via improved bureaucracy mentality in the Neo-Assyrian Period. Kings were in the center and top in this mentality and also the country was divided as provincies. Provincies included a palace like the great center palace which were administered by governers or officials. One of the high officials was LÚAGRIG, LÚ.IGI.DUB as Sumerian, “masennu” or “abarakku” as Akkadian and generally translated as a “treasurer” or only “high official”

Özet

Asur tarihinin Yeni Asur Dönemi olarak adlandırılan bölümünde başa geçen kralların ülkeyi, gelişmiş bir bürokrasi anlayışı ile yönettikleri anlaşılmaktadır. Merkezde ve en üstte kralın olduğu bu yönetim anlayışında ülke eyaletlere ayrılmıştı. Eyaletlere merkezdeki sarayların birer küçük örneği yapılmış, başlarına da merkezden atanan yönetici ve memurlar yerleştirilmiştir. Bunlardan birisi de, çivi yazılı metinlerde Sumerce LÚAGRIG, LÚ.IGI.DUB, Akadca “masennu” veya “abarakku” olarak geçen ve çoğunlukla “hazineci” veya sadece “yüksek dereceli memur” şeklinde tercüme edilen memur sınıfıdır
