By the means of the expression “intercession scenes", which this paper presents, it is
generally meant a group of figurative themes which appear on Mesopotamian cylinder seals
impressions since the end of the Early Dynastic period and become quite frequent since the
Akkadian period. This theme also became very popular under the third Dynasty of Ur and
Babylonian period. Concerning this theme it is consisted of three elements: the worshipper
who stand before the god, the interceding god and the deified king or another male or female
god. These are the main characters of this type of scene that I will deal with and interpret it in
this article in Mesopotamian cylinder seals till the end of the Old Babylonian Period.
