Simurrum (Akkadian: 𒋛𒈬𒌨𒊑𒅎: Si-mu-ur-ri-im)[1] was an important city state of the Mesopotamian area from around 2000 BCE to 1500 BCE, during the period of the Akkadian Empire down to Ur III. The Simurrum Kingdom disappears from records after the Old Babylonian period.[2] It has been proposed that in Old Babylonian times its name was Zabban, a notable cult center of Adad.[3][4][5] It was neighbor and sometimes ally with the Lullubi kingdom.[6][7] Zabban is noted as a cult center of Adad into the Neo-Babylonian period.[8]
