Sargon of Akkad was an ancient Mesopotamian ruler who reigned from 2334 bc to 2279 bc, one of the earliest great empire builders.

He was an outstanding military leader and a charismatic ruler which can be seen since they spoke legends for millennia to come about the king that beat every uprising against him.

Identify two of Sargon of Akkad’s achievements and two of his failings as an empire builder.

During his rule there were many roads constructed and the invention of the first postal service.

He is considered as the founder of Mesopotamian military tradition and he established the first Semitic dynasty in the region.
