The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Even before assuming the throne, Šuppiluliuma distinguished himself as a military commander by protecting and reclaiming Hittite territories after a period of foreign attacks.
- Once becoming king he continued his program of consolidation and expansion, both in Anatolia and Syria, with a great deal of success.
- Victories over a major rival, the Upper-Mesopotamian kingdom of Mittani, led to the extension of Hittite authority over a bevy of petty kingdoms in northern Syria, the installation of the Hittite king's younger sons as local viceroys at Aleppo and Carchemish, and the rump of the Mittanian state becoming, effectively, a dependency of the Hittite Kingdom.
