648-544 BC), also known as Addagoppe, was a devotee of the moon godSîn in the northern Assyrian city of Harran, and the mother of King Nabonidus (ruled 556–539 BC) of the Neo-Babylonian Empire.[2]
Life
Background
In her inscriptions, Adad-guppi claimed that Nabonidus was of the dynastic line of Ashurbanipal (r. 669–631 BC), king of the Neo-Assyrian Empire.
According to her inscriptions, Adad-guppi was born in Ashurbanipal's twentieth year as king. At the time of her birth, Harran had been a major Assyrian stronghold and when the Neo-Assyrian Empire fell in 609 BC, Harran was the capital of its government in exile.
On account of her claims in regards to Nabonidus being of Sargonid (Ashurbanipal's dynasty) ancestry, Stephanie Dalley considered it in 2003 "almost certain" that Adad-guppi was a daughter of Ashurbanipal.
