The paper proposes a new approach to the conflict between Hattušili I and Tawananna using the new interpretation of some historiolae of Zuwi’s ritual. A political interpretation of these historiolae explains their content better than a magical one. Tracing the parallels between the animal figures in Zuwi’s ritual and in the political rhetoric of Hattušili I allows us to reconstruct an alliance between the royal relatives as well as the priesthood being the opponents to the Old Hittite external expansion.

This article traces the cycles of the Hittite calendar in the hope of understanding whether that calendar was a single entity or just a set of loosely related local calendars. Observations on the counting of the months show that the Hittites did not bother with the problem of intercalation, although there is some evidence of the intercalation of the thirteenth month. The names of the Hittite months were numerical (which is one of the exceptional cases in the ancient world), and the present study suggests that their origin was a consequence of the variety of local calendars synchronized by the numbers of the months. The popular hypothesis about depicting both the Hittite months and their entire calendar in their main sanctuary Yazılıkaya cannot be supported by evidence from our texts. Written sources show that the Hittites used several multi-year cycles, and each of them has become the subject of analysis. Although, at first glance, the expression “year number X” in Hittite texts implies the numbers of years from 1 to 162, closer analysis shows that even the metaphorical numbers did not exceed 100, while a twenty-year period covered most of the needs of planning. The cycle limited to three years was the basis of both secular and religious life in the Hittite kingdom. Some longer cycles were derived from this period, and some provinces maintained their own cycles, alien to the Hittite numerology, culture and calendar. The Hittites were tolerant of local calendar traditions and used a system of relative dating when they discussed events in the provinces or recalculated provincial calendars in their own way, managing religious activities in the capital in the manner of their provincial cults. In general, the Hittite calendar was a loose structure, and the unified cycle was often neglected in local centers.

The paper provides an overview of the units of time attested by the Hittite texts. It discusses the problem of the starting point for the Hittite day, and the available sources do not confirm the hypothesis that the sunset was the boundary point. We cannot find in the Hittite texts the term for a week, in contrast to other units of time, but we can trace the concept of splitting a month into the lunar phases in the different kinds of texts. Although the Hittites had an idea of the lunisolar year, the lack of correlation between the week and the used account for the phases of the moon, and the weak connection between the changes of months and seasons may indicate a lower significance of the lunisolar year compared to the agricultural one in Hittite Anatolia.

The paper deals with the calendrical aspects and the pantheon’s evolution of the most famous Hittite autumn festival, nuntariyašha. The study of the text description of the nuntariyašha festival checked the traces of its editing in relation to the evolution of the Hittite pantheon, discovered the antiquity of the text (the nature of its pantheon as a whole does reflect the range of cults pertaining not to a time of its recording, but to the preceding era), but traces of the New Year rituals were not observed.

The paper deals with the problem of alternation between the place names Kizzuwatna and Kummanni, denoting in Hittite texts the land and the city in South-East Anatolia. The analysis of the place names’ distribution in the texts of different chronological periods, as well as of the cases of their mutual oppositions shows that Kizzuwatna and Kummanni were the names of two co-existing cities, whereas the country was named after one of them interchangeably in different periods of its history. Current views on the localization of the capital of Kizzuwatna-Kummanni allow us to regard the two cities as a pair divided by a river. The new examination of the etymology of these place-names helps to shed light the history of settling the urban centers of Cilician Plain in the Bronze Age.

The paper explores the toponymical problems of Kizzuwatna – the land in South-Eastern Asia Minor of 2nd millennium BC. The etymological analyzis of each place name of this country allows us to compile the first detailed toponymical catalogue for Plain Cilicia of this era. The author shows that place names attested in the sources of the second half of 2nd millennium BC reflect the ties of this region to its eastern environment (Eastern Anatolia, Syria and Upper Mesopotamia) for the pre-Hittite period and to Lower Land and Central Anatolia for the Hittite period of its history.

Символы царской власти кажутся функционально сходными в различных культурах древнего мира, однако за этой схожестью исследователи зачастую не замечают региональную
специфику. Раннегреческий скипетр и хеттский калмус обычно трактуются как видоизменённые булава или пастушеский посох, однако утверждающие это концепции не являются всесторонне обоснованными. Авторы статьи проводят анализ словоупотреблений данных инсигний для уточнения их функций, в результате чего выявляется метательная функция данных предметов, сближающая их с молнией как символом бога грозы. Анализ данных археологии позволяет признать прототипом этих символов царской власти оружие типа копья.
The symbols of royal power look being similar to each other in the different cultures of the Ancient World, but this resemblance may cover the regional specifics. The most common ideas identify the
Early Greek scepter and the Hittite kalmus with the variants of mace and of shepherd’s crook, but their arguments are not comprehensive. Analyzing the textual attestations of the Ancient Greek
scepter and of the Hittite kalmus to understand their functions, we discover their throwing function, which is the proper feature of the lightning bolt in the hands of the stormgod. The archaeological
data allow us to consider the weapon like spear being the prototype of these royal insignia.

The symbols of royal power look like being similar to each other in various cultures of the Ancient World, but this resemblance may hide the regional specifics from the researchers. Early Greek sceptre and Hittite kalmus are considered to be equivalents of mace and of shepherd's crook. However, this theory is not very convincing. Analysing the textual attestations of the Ancient Greek sceptre and Hittite kalmus, we have found out that these objects were considered as close to throwing weapon and therefore associated with a bolt of lightning, the symbol of the storm god. Archaeological evidences make clear that the symbols of power like sceptre have their origin in a weapon similar to spear.
Résumé. Les symboles du pouvoir royal semblent avoir la même fonction dans certaines cultures de l'antiquité. Cette ressemblance déguise souvent ce qui est propre à une telle ou telle région. Le sceptre grec et le sceptre recourbé des hittites (kalmus) semblent avoir leur origine dans le gourdin ou bien le bâton de berger, mais en fait, il n'y a pas de preuves bien solides pour l'affirmer. Dans cet article-là on va analyser l'usage des mots qui déterminent les symboles du pouvoir. En résultat, on voit que ces mots sont liés à l'idée de «lancer» et qu'on peut les rapprocher à la foudre, le symbole du dieu de l'orage. L'archéologie nous permet de conclure que les symboles du pouvoir royal remontent à une arme à l'instar de lance.
Rezumat. Simbolurile puterii regale par asemănătoare în unele culturi vechi. Această asemănare ascunde adesea ceea ce este specific unei regiuni. Sceptrul grec și sceptrul curbat al hitiților (kalmus) pare să-și fi avut originea în buzdugan și în ciomagul ciobanului. Totuși, această teorie nu este convingătoare. Analizând folosirea cuvintelor care determină simbolurile puterii, autorii au descoperit că aceste obiecte erau mai apropiate ca funcționalitate de armele de aruncat și de aceea pot fi asociate cu fulgerul, simbolul zeului furtunii. Descoperirile arheologice demonstrează că simboluri ale puterii precum sceptrul își au originea într-o armă asemănătoare lăncii.

The paper discusses the practices of copying international treaties in the Hittite archives. The paleographic research shows that the late copies of the Hittite international treaties constitute a minority of manuscripts of this genre. The Hittites were copying only those treaties whose stipulations were still applicable to the current international environment. Two copies of Kizzuwatna files (CTH 41, 132) become the exceptions explained in the paper.

The author treats the geography of campaigns undertaken by the Old Hittite king Ammuna according to the Ammuna chronicle (CTH 18) and Telepinu’s Decree (CTH 19).
Localization of the towns mentioned in these sources is in many cases revised; some of the subdued towns often located in north-western Anatolia are proved to have been situated
in its north-eastern part. The eastern localisation of the countries of Pala and Tumanna is shown to be in accord both with the sources about these countries and with the proposed
reconstruction of the geography of Ammuna’s campaigns.

This paper presents a new edition of the parity treaties of Kizzuwatnean kings Išputahšu (CTH 21), Paddatiššu (CTH 26), Eheya (CTH 29) and Pilliya (CTH 25) concluded with Hittite kings Telepinu, Alluwamna, Tahurwaili and Zidanta II and with Idrimi, the king of Alalah. It is the earliest known tradition of bilateral treaties (as distinct from pairs of unilateral treaties) in the world.
The edition contains a transliteration and Russian translation of and a historical commentary on each treaty. The commentary reflects the new discoveries of more ancient international treaties, whose stipulations are compared with those of the parity treaties of the kings of Kizzuwatna.

The article discusses the foreign policy of Pilliya the king of Kizzuwatna (the first half of the fifteenth century BCE) according to his treaties and to the Autobiography of Idrimi. The new reconstruction proposes the reverse sequence of events in contrast to previous studies: Pilliya concluded a treaty with Idrimi, then its last clause provoked the war, and at last the weakened Pilliya was attacked by Hittite king Zidanza II. Special attention is paid to the scribal features of Pilliya’s treaties in the context of previous Kizzuwatna treaty tradition.

The author treats relations between Hittites and Kizzuwadna before Pilliya. On the base of historical considerations and some formal and palaeographical criteria the following options are proposed and argued for: Kizzuwadna became an independent state under Telipinu (rebellious Adaniya under Ammuna is not to be identifyed to Kizzuwadna); CTH 26 has some common orthographic features with CTH 21 (concluded by Telipinu) but not with CTH 29 (concluded by Tahurwaili); CTH 26 belongs to Alluwamna and precedes CTH 29; the sequense Alluwamna - Tahurwaili can be shown independently by palaeographic comparison.

The author analyses the foreign policy of Hittite king Ammuna taking into consideration the chronicle recently re-attributed to him. Localisation of the place names mentioned in that text and in the historical introduction to Telepinu’s Proclamation allows to defi ne the western, south-eastern and northern directions of Ammuna’s political activities. The conclusions admit that Ammuna’s foreign policy was to some extent successful. The fact that Telepinu refuses to acknowledge this success may be explained by his personal attitude towards Ammuna.

Книга посвящена сравнению правовых отношений в Древней Греции микенского периода (XVI-XI вв. до н.э.) и в Хеттском царстве (XVII-XII вв. до н.э.). Греки и хетты были соседними индоевропейскими народами, о политических и культурных контактах которых мы имеем указания в исторических источниках. В науке также установлено, что Греция микенской эпохи и Хеттское царство имели схожую организацию экономики. В монографии показано, что общие черты у греков микенской эпохи и хеттов были в судопроизводстве и наказании преступников. Также у греков и хеттов существовала царская инсигния, которая символизировала оружие бога грозы — молнию — и тем самым указывала на то, что царь, подобно богу грозы, мог налагать наказание.
The book is devoted to the legal relations in the Mycenaean Greece (XVI-XI c. BC) and in the Hittite Kingdom (XVII-XII c. BC). The ancient Greeks and the Hittites were neighboring Indo-European peoples. We have some information in litterary sources on political and cultural contacts of the Greeks and the Hittites. The Mycenaean Greece and the Hittite Kingdom also had similar economic organization. The book shows that the common features of the Mycenaean Greeks and Hittites were in the trial and punishment. The Greeks and Hittites also had royal insignia, which symbolized the weapon of the Storm God — thunderbolt, what indicates that the king like the Storm God can impose punishment.
