Biography

About

Ḫattušili III took the title labarna and governed the Hittite empire during the New Kingdom, roughly 1275–1245 BC under the middle chronology or 1267–1237 BC by the short timeline. His name meant "from Hattusa," linking him directly to the empire's Anatolian capital. The span of his reign placed him in the thick of Bronze Age Near Eastern power struggles, when the Hittites stood as one of the great forces alongside Egypt and Mesopotamia. What endures from his rule are the diplomatic agreements struck in an age when war and treaty were the only two languages empires spoke.
