Dimkurkurra, Babylon is "the bond of the Lands.” Whoever enters inside it, his kidinnu-status is secured. Babylon is "the bowl of the Dog of Enlil." Its very name is set up for protection. Not even a dog that enters inside it is killed.
The first version of a signet ring was a cylinder seal. The cylinder seal was originally worn around the neck, and carved with an imprint unique to hotsell the owner. It was an early form of a signature, used in business to keep track of transactions. The owner's seal was rolled into wet clay and formed a unique imprint. The signet ring descended from this and was worn as a mark of favor, a symbol of divine authority.
