Babilon

Hume, Patrick. Annotations on Milton's Paradise Lost London: Printed for Jacob Tonson ..., 1695. Print.

One of the most famous Cities of the ancient World, Renowned both in Sacred and Profane Story, the Capital of the Assyrian Empire; Semiramis encompass'd it with Walls of Brick, said to be 100 Cubits high, broad enough for two Chariots to pass, and containing 48 English Miles in Circuit, so that it might well be accounted one of the Worlds Seven Wonders
