[[Image:Hattusa.king.jpg|thumb|Relief of Suppiluliuma II in Hattusa]]
'''Suppiluliuma II''', the son of [[Tudhaliya IV]], was the last known king of the New Kingdom of the [[Hittite Empire]], ruling 1207 BCE – c.1178 BCE, contemporary with Tukulti-Ninurta I of Assyira.
He is known from two inscriptions in [[hieroglyphics]]. They record wars against former vassal Tarhuntassa, and against Alasiya in [[Cyprus]].
After the fall, the Kaskians were probably in control of Hatti. Hattusa itself was destroyed, its site only re-occupied by a [[Phrygian]] fortress some 500 years later.
