Tavannanna - the title of the Hittite queen or sister of the ruler [1] , derived from the name of the wife of King Labarna . The title was assigned to the royal wife only after the death of her predecessor. During the life of the widowed queen mother, the wife of a living monarch ( labarna, tabarna ) was called the "wife of the king" [2] . The tavannanna took an active part in the political, economic and religious policies of the state. Often, she became the instigator of court intrigues, fighting for power not for herself, but in the interests of the male applicant. The tavannanna was not equated with ordinary wives naptartu [3] .
The queen fastened the documents with her seal, on the inside of which, for some unknown reason, the inscriptions were made in cuneiform writing [4] .
