{"product_id":"9781035416738","title":"Babylon","description":"\u003cp\u003eBabylon often appears more myth than history. Purportedly the site of the Hanging Gardens and the Tower of Babel, its infamous presence in the Bible has made it a byword for sinful decadence. But Babylon was a real place teeming with life, a bustling mega-city on the Euphrates where schoolteachers, artisans, priests, slaves, prostitutes and soldiers rubbed shoulders in maze-like streets and busy marketplaces. The city was home to some extraordinary rulers, from Hammurabi the great lawgiver to Nebuchadnezzar II, the conqueror-king, under whose reign the city glistened in gold and lapis lazuli. In this book, Lloyd Llewellyn-Jones brings the city vividly to life, tracing its foundation through to its world domination, and subsequent decline, fall and ruin into dust.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lloyd Llewellyn-Jones","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56887401972090,"sku":"9781035416738","price":25.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0423\/0240\/6809\/files\/9781035416738.jpg?v=1781191790","url":"https:\/\/winstonebooks.co.uk\/products\/9781035416738","provider":"Winstone's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
