Historical background
The land between the Euphrates and the Tigris was the cradle of Sumer, Akkad, Babylon and Assyria. In Roman times it belonged to the Parthian Empire, whose capital Ctesiphon stood on the Tigris. Trajan briefly created a province of Mesopotamia in AD 116, which Hadrian gave up in 117; Septimius Severus reconquered the north in 198.
