Baranamtarra

Baranamtarra (died 2375 BC) was the Queen consort of Lagash.

Around 2384 BC, Baranamtarra and her husband, Lugalanda, seized power in Lagash, one of the oldest cities in Sumer. They became the largest landholders in the city, and Baranamtarra presided over a temple and several estates herself. She was daughter of Ashag, and exchanged presents with Ninigidubti, wife of the en of Adab. Queen Baranamtarra managed her own private estates and those of the temple of the goddess Bau. She bought and sold slaves and sent diplomatic missions to neighboring states.
