A history of Babylon, 2200 BC-AD 75
Paul-Alain Beaulieu (Author)
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. 31-75 AD). Unlike other texts on Ancient Near Eastern and Mesopotamian history, it offers a unique focus on Bablyon 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 tuitions developments more respectable coverage than books that have come before it
