Ammon, Civilizações do Oriente Próximo , Edom, Moab, TransjordâniaResumo
Este trabalho visa oferecer uma visão histórica da unificação de tribos e cidades da Transjordânia em torno de sistemas políticos centralizados entre os séculos X e VIII AEC. Serão tratados, portanto, contextos do surgimento dos reinos, com base em fontes epigráficas, a hipótese é que duas realidades históricas fizeram com que as cidades da região – sem vínculos políticos e suas populações transumantes com diferentes fontes econômicas – se organizassem de forma confederada: a expansão de reinos vizinhos, no caso de Ammon e Moab, e a economia, no caso de Edom. O objetivo principal, portanto, é compreender essa forma organizacional estratégica e a emergência dos reinos etnomonárquicos de Ammon, Moab e Edom à sombra do império neoassírio. A investigação histórica pretende lançar luz sobre o fenômeno de estatização em seu tempo social, mas tem caráter comparativo na medida em que insere a economia regional, as formas do político, as evidências sobre a religião e a expansão da Assíria em seus âmbitos operativos.
