Ishme-Dagan I

King of Assiria

Ishme-Dagan I was a monarch of Ekallatum and Assur during the Old Assyrian period. The much later Assyrian King List (AKL) credits Ishme-Dagan I with a reign of 40 years; however, it is now known from a limmu-list of eponyms unearthed at Kanesh in 2003 that his reign in Assur lasted around 11 years.

Ishme-Dagan I is read about 22 times a day, in 28 languages.

The middle day of the days counted, so one week of news cannot move it. The line under it is the last 60 days, one point a day.
