Abstract
This article considers the sons of Shulgi, especially those who never became crown prince, and what can be known of their employments as adults. Well documented as various types of military officers and on diplomatic missions, as well as in administrative roles, Shulgi’s sons appear to have had many leadership roles in his reign. However, perhaps in an effort to keep any one from becoming too powerful, the sons were constantly rotated in and out of positions.
