Historical artwork depicting the Battle of Battle of Opis

Cyrus the Great confronted the Babylonian army under Nabonidus's son Belshazzar at the strategic city of Opis on the Tigris River. The Persians won a decisive victory, and the defeat shattered Babylonian morale. The nearby city of Sippar surrendered without a fight, and Babylon itself fell shortly afterward with minimal resistance. The battle effectively ended the Neo-Babylonian Empire and brought all of Mesopotamia under Persian control, creating the largest empire the world had yet seen.

💡 Le saviez-vous ?

The Battle of Opis opened the road to Babylon, which fell so quickly afterward that according to the ancient sources, some parts of the city did not even know it had been captured.
