Babylonia: A Very Short Introduction

by Trevor Bryce

Book Overview

The history of Ancient Babylonia in ancient Mesopotamia is epic. After playing host to three great empires, the Hammurabic and Kassite empires, and the Neo-Babylonian Empire ruled by Nebuchadnezzar, it was conquered by the Persians.

Squabbled over by his heirs, Babylonia was subsequently dominated by the Parthian and Roman empires.
