Summary "The Seven Great Monarchies of the Ancient Eastern World, Vol 4: Babylon" by George Rawlinson is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This volume specifically delves into the ancient Babylonian Empire, exploring its history, geography, and culture. Rawlinson presents a detailed examination of the empire's extent, its geographical features, and the significant civilizations within its territorial bounds. At the start of the volume, the author outlines the geographical scope of the Babylonian Empire, situating it primarily in the fertile region between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers. He details the characteristics of Babylonia, including its topography, the abundance of agricultural products, and the climatic conditions that shaped its society. The opening emphasizes the empire's rapid rise to power following the fall of Assyria and sets the stage for subsequent discussions of its political and cultural landscapes, hinting at the intricate connections these elements had with the broader ancient world.
