Definition:
important city of ancient Mesopotamia; on the Euphrates near modern-day Baghdad
Babylon no longer exists as a city.  Some have identified it as largest city in the world from c. 1770 to 1670 BC, and again between c. 612 and 320 BC. It was perhaps the first city to reach a population above 200,000.

It is also famous for "The Hanging Gardens of Babylon" -- one of the seven wonders of the ancient world.
