They conquered surrounding regions and practically stole their resources since resources in their regions were very scarce.
The Akkadians were able to acquire resources through trade with neighboring regions, as well as through their control of fertile agricultural land. They used the surplus resources generated from agriculture to develop their capital city, which allowed them to expand and consolidate their power in the region.
The Akkadians collected various forms of tribute from conquered peoples, including resources such as grain, livestock, and precious materials. This tribute was essential for funding the construction and development of their capital city, Akkad, which became a center of trade and governance. The wealth acquired through tribute facilitated not only architectural projects but also the support of the Akkadian military and administration.
