Explore the Government of Babylon in Age of Empires IV. Learn about the king's administrative power, provincial governors, and the short life of the New Empire.

The New Empire government of Babylon adopted many practices from the Assyrian empire, which likely contributed to its own brief existence.

The king held supreme administrative authority and was central to significant religious ceremonies. Governors were appointed to rule key provinces in the king's name, with most being Babylonians chosen from outside the immediate region. Local rulers were often retained to govern smaller kingdoms, but this sometimes resulted in uprisings, such as the revolt in Jerusalem.
