Babylonia was an ancient

Mesopotamia (present-day
Iraq). A small
Amorite-ruled state emerged in 1894 BC, which contained at this time the minor city of
Babylon. Babylon greatly expanded during the reign of
Hammurabi in the first half of the 18th century BC, becoming a major capital city. During the reign of Hammurabi and afterwards, Babylonia was called Mât Akkadî "the country of Akkad" in
Akkadian.
