History
Late Bronze
Siyannu, which was also known as Ušnatu,[2] was part of Ugarit, before having its independence and becoming a border region with Amrit during the reign of the Hittite King Muršili II.[3]
Iron Age
Siyannu/Shianu,[4] led by King Adunu Baal, took part in the Battle of Qarqar against the invading Assyrians.[5]
