The following is a list of the Kings of Babylon, a major city of ancient Mesopotamia, in modern Iraq.

Contents

[edit] First Dynasty of Babylon

This uses the traditional Middle Chronology, although there is now reason to believe it may be too early by as much as a century.

[edit] Early Kassite Monarchs

These rulers did not rule Babylon itself, but their numbering scheme was continued by later Kassite Kings of Babylon, and so they are listed here.

[edit] Sealand Dynasty (Dynasty II of Babylon)

This dynasty also did not actually rule Babylon, but rather the Sumerian regions south of it. Nevertheless, it is traditionally numbered the Second Dynasty of Babylon, and so is listed here.

[edit] Kassite Dynasty (Third Dynasty of Babylon)

The chronology followed here is the higher chronology found in Von Beckerath's Chronologie des pharaonischen Ägypten. Another commonly used chronology generally gives dates of approximately 10 to 20 years earlier for each monarch, but this does not synchronize so well with the most commonly used chronology for the Egyptian New Kingdom.

[edit] Dynasty IV of Babylon, from Isin

[edit] Dynasty V of Babylon

[edit] Dynasty VI of Babylon

[edit] Dynasty VII of Babylon

[edit] Dynasty VIII of Babylon

[edit] Dynasty IX of Babylon

[edit] Dynasty IX of Babylon

From this point on, the Babylonian chronology is securely known via Ptolemy's Canon of Kings and other sources.

[edit] Dynasty X of Babylon (Assyrians and Chaldeans)

Assyrian Sack of Babylon, 689 BCE; Babylon is rebuilt by Esarhaddon of Assyria in the 670s BCE

[edit] Dynasty XI of Babylon (Neo-Babylonian or Chaldean)

In 539 BCE, Babylon was captured by Cyrus the Great of Persia, and lost its independence. His son was crowned one year later formaly as King of Babyloniacs:Rejstřík:Babylonští králové/podle data působení de:Liste der Könige von Babylonien es:Reyes de Babilonia fr:Souverains de Babylone nl:Lijst van koningen van Babylonië no:Konger av Babylonia pl:Królowie Babilonu ru:Вавилонские цари sl:Seznam babilonskih kraljev fi:Luettelo Babylonian kuninkaista sv:Babylons kungar zh:巴比伦君主列表
