Samsu-ditāna, inscribed phonetically in cuneiform sa-am-su-di-ta-na in the seals of his servants, the 11th and last king of the Amorite or First Dynasty of Babylon, reigned for 31 years, 1625 – 1595 BC (Middle Chronology), 1617-1587 BC (Low Middle Chronology), or 1562 – 1531 BC (Short Chronology). Samsu-ditāna was, apparently, the son and successor of Ammī-ṣaduqa. His reign is best known for its termination with the sudden fall of Babylon at the hands of the Hittites.
