Copán was the capital city of a major Classic period kingdom from the 5th to 9th centuries AD. Copán was occupied for more than two thousand years, from the Early Preclassic period right through to the Postclassic. The city developed a distinctive sculptural style within the tradition of the lowland Maya, perhaps to emphasize the Maya ethnicity of the city's rulers.Copán, probably called Oxwitik by the Maya,was a powerful city ruling a vast kingdom within the southern Maya area^. The city suffered a major political disaster in AD 738 when Uaxaclajuunl, one of the greatest kings in Copán's dynastic history, was captured and executed by his former vassal, the king of Quirigua.
