Kassite king who lost territory to Assyria.
Nazi-Maruttash fought the Assyrian king Adad-nirari I at the Battle of Kar-Ishtar, resulting in a Kassite defeat. The loss led to the cession of territory along the Tigris River, weakening Babylonian control and marking the rise of Assyrian power in the region.
Following the defeat, Nazi-Maruttash signed a treaty with Adad-nirari I, formalizing the loss of territory and establishing a border. The treaty reduced Kassite influence and set a precedent for Assyrian expansion into Babylonian lands.
