Abstract:
This paper examines aspects of the gold trade as reflected in the Ebla texts (24th century BC), focusing particularly on their socio-economic role and significance. By analyzing recently published administrative texts, the paper explores the geographical origins of the Ebla gold, identifies key figures involved in its supply, and reconstructs the broader trade networks connecting Ebla with Anatolia. Specifically, it traces how the Ebla palace acquired gold in the form of ornaments called /ti-gi-na/ from the city of Armi, one of Ebla’s major gold suppliers, which served as their exclusive source.
