Narem-Sin's rule began with a series of rebellions in the Babylonian cities, in which Mari, Magan, Elam, and other regions participated. The years of his rule were overshadowed by military campaigns, which made him a famous figure, as was "Sharu-Kino" (Sargon), the founder of the Akkadian state. He also led campaigns. Military forces towards the east in the Zagros Mountains against the Lulubi groups led by their king Anubanini, and in the north they advanced as far as Urkesh, the area where the Hurrians were present. Naram-Sin built - as some cuneiform texts indicate - a fortified palace for himself at Tell Brak on the Khabur River. The palace contained huge warehouses, and it seems that the task of the garrison in this palace was to monitor trade with the northern regions. In some rooms he found remains of grain and in others gold. Silver and precious stones.
The rule of the Akkadian state extended in this period to include northern ancient Syria. Naram-Sin annexed the “Subartum” region all the way to the Upper Sea (the Mediterranean Sea), the Taurus Mountains, and the Cedar Mountains (the Amnos Mountains). In one of the writings engraved on a scepter, it is said that Naram-Sin The conquest of Armanum, where its king tied the feathers of Adad to the supports of the gate, as he did in Ebla and Elam. It is assumed that Narem-Sin was the first king to attack Armanum and Ebla, although Sharu-Kinu (Sargon) was This has been claimed before, and it is assumed that the victory achieved by Naram-Sin occurred either in 2275 BC or 2250 BC. However, archaeological research at Tel Mardikh has not yet proven that such an event occurred at Ebla, which has led some archaeologists to believe that The word “Ibb/Yebla” mentioned in the inscriptions does not refer to Tel Mardikh. There is also archaeological evidence of trade with Byblos
