The author treats the geography of campaigns undertaken by the Old Hittite king Ammuna according to the Ammuna chronicle (CTH 18) and Telepinu’s Decree (CTH 18). Localization of the towns mentioned in these sources is in many cases revised; some of the subdued towns often located in north-western Anatolia are proved to have been situated in its north-eastern part. The eastern localisation of the countries of Pala and Tumanna is shown to be in accord both with the sources about these countries and with the proposed reconstruction of the geography of Ammuna’s campaigns.
