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.
