摘　　要：在著名的《汉穆拉比法典》石柱上方的浮雕中,太阳神端坐于宝座上,手持两件看似圆环和木杖的物品;国王汉穆拉比以祈祷的姿势站立在他对面。国内教科书通常把上述两件物品描绘为两河流域王权的象征物,但它们最初在公元前三千纪晚期是作为测量工具出现的。到汉穆拉比的时代,这对物品才开始与掌管司法的太阳神形象相结合。它们最终演变为王权的标志物则是在公元前1000年之后。On the famous Hammurabi Stele, the sun-god Shamash sits on the throne and holds the so-called rod and ring in his outstretched right hand,while king Hammurabi stands up facing him. Chinese textbooks usually describe the rod and ring as symbols of kingship in Mesopotamia. But at their first appearance, the two objects assumed the shape of measurement tools in the late third millennium BCE.During the reign of Hammurabi(c. 1792-1750 BCE),they began to be associated with the sun-god who was in charge of justice. Only after c. 1000 BCE did the rod and ring become general symbols of kingship in Mesopotamia.
