The author analyses the foreign policy of Hittite king Ammuna taking into consideration the chronicle recently re-attributed to him. Localisation of the place names mentioned in that text and in the historical introduction to Telepinu’s Proclamation allows to defi ne the western, south-eastern and northern directions of Ammuna’s political activities. The conclusions admit that Ammuna’s foreign policy was to some extent successful. The fact that Telepinu refuses to acknowledge this success may be explained by his personal attitude towards Ammuna.
