Cuneiform texts and seals of Queen Ašmunikal, one of the queen of the Middle Hittite period, were brought together in this study. The texts of CTH 222.91, CTH 252, CTH 326 and CTH 375 relating to the queen were evaluated by transcription and translation. In addition to these, the seals of Queen Ašmunikal and their joint seal with King Arnuṷanda, SBo I Nr.77, SBO I Nr.61, SBO I Nr.60 and AO 29722 were reviewed. The ancient Hittite queen, whose name was found before Ašmunikal, was mentioned and periodic differences were revealed. Analysis of the name of Queen Ašmunikal was made and the queen's geneology was determined. Suggestions for the question of whether they were siblings with King Arnuanda were also presented here. In the Hittite history, some firsts living together with Queen Ašmunikal were specified and the importance of the queen in the Hittite state was emphasized.
