Simurrum (Akkadian: ๐๐ฌ๐จ๐๐ : 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 is thought that in Old Babylonian times its name was Zabban, a notable cult center of Adad.[3][4] It was neighbor and sometimes ally with the Lullubi kingdom.[5]
