Years: 2493BCE - 2350BCE

Lagash is an important Sumerian city in the late third millennium BCE, as indicated by inscriptions found at Telloh.

It is ruled at this time by such independent kings as Ur-Nanshe (twenty-fourth century BCE) and his successors, who are engaged in contests with the Elamites on the east and the kings of "Kiengir" and Kish on the north.

Inscriptions describing the reforms of king Urukagina of Lagash state that he abolished the former custom of polyandry in his country, on pain of the woman taking multiple husbands being stoned with rocks upon which her crime is written.
