Tammaritu II

Tammaritu II was the ruler of Elam from 652 until 650 or 649 BC.[1][2] After the brief reigns of Indabibi and Humban-haltash III, Tammaritu II was briefly restored to power in 648.[1] Tammaritu II was the son of Tammaritu I and the successor of Ummanigash,[1] his uncle.[3]

After a failed attack in 652 BC by then Elamite king Ummanigash against the Assyrian Empire, Tammaritu II rose to power in a coup.[3] Tammaritu continued Ummanigash's policy of supporting the Babylonian ruler Shamash-shum-ukin against the Assyrian king Ashurbanipal.[4] During the fighting, one of his generals, Indabibi, switched sides, and Tammaritu escaped to Nineveh in either 650 or 649 BC.[4] Thus began the brief rule of Indabibi over Elam.

In 648 BC, Indabibi was killed and replaced by Humban-haltash III.[5] The Assyrians then invaded Elam again, and installed Tammaritu once more as king of Elam.[6] Tammaritu was then deposed and exiled by Assyria after complaining about the Assyrian plundering of Elam.[7] Humban-haltash III then ruled again over Elam.[8]
