This study attempts to shed light on an important aspect of economic life in ancient Iraq, namely the most significant negative factors affecting the markets of ancient Iraq during the second millennium BC. These factors include natural factors (drought and infectious diseases) and human factors (wars, military campaigns, and banditry), which negatively impacted the exchange processes taking place there and the resulting role of the state in limiting them and regulating commercial transactions in both domestic and foreign markets.
