Written by an expert in the field, this book presents a narrative
history of Babylon from the time of its First Dynasty (1880-1595)
until the last centuries of the city’s existence during the
Hellenistic and Parthian periods (ca. 331-75 AD). Unlike other
texts on Ancient Near Eastern and Mesopotamian history, it offers
a unique focus on Babylon and Babylonia, while still providing
readers with an awareness of the interaction with other states
and peoples. Organized chronologically, it places the various
socio-economic and cultural developments and institutions in
their historical context. The book also gives religious and
intellectual developments more respectable coverage than books
that have come before it.
