description Abstract: Hittite rock reliefs may or may not be accompanied by an inscription. When this occurs, the general rule is that the inscription refers to the figure and indicates both the name and position of the person depicted. Both, figure and inscription, constitute a single unit which refers to a specific individual. Furthermore, in these cases the person represented and the commissioner of the relief are (assumed to be) the same individual. But there are at least three Hittite rock reliefs with more than one inscription for a single figure. How should these binary inscriptions be understood and interpreted? What is their relation to the figure? Is it possible to find a general interpretation for these three cases? This article aims to analyze the relation between binary inscriptions and figure representation in Hittite rock reliefs in order to provide possible explanations for this phenomenon.
