Sarr-kinu is Sargon’s throne name, it is thought that he only used his throne name because he was a usurper, which is defined as, to seize and hold power by force or without legal right. That is to say, Sargon is not a member of the royal line, which would explain why he would want a name worthy of a king. • --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- • Sources: • https://www.ancient.eu/Ashurbanipal/ • http://www.dictionary.com/browse/usurper • http://www.mesopotamiangods.com/kish-... • https://www.thoughtco.com/kubaba-a-qu... • https://www.ancient.eu/Sargon_of_Akkad/ • https://www.ancient.eu/Naram-Sin/ • https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sir_Hen... • http://sumerianshakespeare.com/70701/... • https://www.britannica.com/biography/...
