    During the Akitu Festival, the King is stripped off of his crown and insignia. The King then kneels in front of the Bel and ask forgiveness of to the gods and promises to do better in the new year. This practice reminds the king of his imperfections and the feeling of being a commoner. Without his crown, he is powerless. This traditioned teaches the king to be humble and trust on their gods.
