enshakushanna
king of sumer and akkad (sumerian: "lugal-ki-en-gi-ki-uri, akkadian: "šar māt šumeri u akkadi) was a royal title in ancient mesopotamia combining the titles of "king of akkad", the ruling title held by the monarchs of the akkadian empire (2334–2154 bc) with the title of "king of sumer". the title simultaneously laid a claim on the legacy and glory of the ancient empire that had been founded by sargon of akkad (r. 2334–2279 bc) and expressed a claim to rule the entirety of lower mesopotamia (composed of the regions of sumer in the south and akkad in the north). despite both of the titles "king of sumer" and "king of akkad" having been used by the akkadian kings, the title was not introduced in its combined form until the reign of the neo-sumerian king ur-nammu ( 2112–2095 bc), who created it in an effort to unify the southern and northern parts of lower mesopotamia under his rule. the older akkadian kings themselves might have been against linking sumer and akkad in such a way.
