Historical background

Babylon on the Euphrates in today's Iraq was the capital of a great empire under Hammurabi in the 18th century BC and under Nebuchadnezzar II in the 6th century BC. The Ishtar Gate and the ziggurat Etemenanki, model of the "Tower of Babel", made it famous. Alexander the Great died here in 323 BC; afterwards the city lost out to Seleucia on the Tigris.
