Rieneke Sonnevelt (Leiden University) gave a lecture (in Dutch) on the way in which two families in Babylon deal with a changing world during the Babylonian and Persian periods, in the 6th-5th century BC. The stories about the families have been unraveled on the basis of cuneiform texts on clay tablets and small notes that were added.

Rieneke Sonnevelt is a lecturer and PhD candidate at the Institute for Regional Studies, Leiden University. The lecture is introduced by Caroline Waerzeggers, professor of Assyriology, Leiden University.
