Abstract
In scholarly literature, the Hubanid dynasty is often used as a collective name for the kings ruling the Neo-Elamite kingdom before the Sack of Susa (646 BC). However, far more plausible is the existence of two Neo- Elamite royal dynasties. The second Neo-Elamite royal dynasty, starting with the reign of Huban-haltaš I and ending with king Tammaritu, can therefore be named the Hubanid dynasty (688-647 BC). During the era of the Hubanid dynasty, Elam faced a growing amount of Assyrian hostilities and interference in Elamite politics, resulting on a domestic level in court intrigues and a rapid succession of Elamite kings. Consequently, the power base of the Hubanid kings diminished, which provided a window for a group of rebel kings (650-645 BC) to seize power.
