Sumerian idealogy revolved around the premise of emulating and admiring the deities that they served... Usually the amount of wives was determined by techniques comprised of hydromancy, terramancy, and pyromancy... It was declared that An (high father sky deity) possessed three relationships and others on the side as well... Sumerian law dictated that adultery was permitted and encouraged for men... Also, since there was legal prostitution as part of the sacred ME's of Sumerian civilization (given by Abzu [subterranean water] deity Enki with unfortunate consequences later on), the number of women for sexual satisfaction and child birth could fluctuate in range depending on the level of desire... In short, no real limit, but have the mullah...
