Ammittamru II was a king of the ancient Syrian city of Ugarit who ruled from 1260 to 1235 BC.[1] He reigned for 25 years, being the son of former king Niqmepa,[2] who was famously forced to sign a treaty of vassalization to the Hittites. Like all other Ugaritan kings, very few references of him exist. However, he is known to be a contemporary of Bentisina of the Amurru.
Ammittamru II is assumed to have used the seal of his grandfather, Niqmaddu II instead of the dynastic seal that reads: "Yaqarum, son of Niqmaddu, king of Ugarit", that was normally used by Ugaritan kings.[2][3]
