The history of Ancient Babylonia in ancient Mesopatamia 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. Entered
triumphantly by Alexander the Great, it later provided the setting
for the Conquerer's deathbed. Squabbled over by his heirs,
Babylonia was subsequently dominated by the Parthian and Roman
empires. In this Very Short Introduction, Trevor Bryce takes us on
a journey of more than 2,000 years across the history and
civilization of ancient Babylonia, from the emergence of its chief
city, Babylon, as a modest village on the Euphrates in the 3rd
millennium BC through successive phases of triumph, decline, and
resurgence until its royal capital faded into obscurity in the
Roman imperial era. Exploring key historical events as well as the
day-to-day life of an ancient Babylonian, Bryce provides a
comprehensive guide to one of history's most profound
civilizations. ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions
