Naram-Sin is the ancient Mesopotamian king associated with the Victory Stele of Naram-Sin.
Naram-Sin ruled the Akkadian Empire in the twenty-third century BCE and was the grandson of Sargon of Akkad. The stele celebrates a military victory over the Lullubi, a people from the Zagros region. It presents the king advancing up a mountain while enemies fall or submit.
The composition is especially important because Naram-Sin appears larger than the other figures and wears a horned crown. In Mesopotamian art, horns commonly signaled divinity, and Naram-Sin is also known for using divine titles. The monument therefore combines military propaganda with royal ideology.
The original stele was later carried to Susa, where it was found by archaeologists. It is now in the Louvre. The monument is not the same object as the Stele of Hammurabi or the Black Obelisk.
