c25.17
The king was the head of the army and the navy. Numerous regiments of the army are mentioned by their specific names in the inscriptions. One remarkable feature of the army brought out by these records is that each of these regiments had a corporate life of its own and was free to endow benefactions or build temples in its own name.
