About Hatra
Hatra was an ancient city in Upper Mesopotamia located in present-day eastern Nineveh Governorate in northern Iraq. The ruins of the city lie 290 km (180 mi) northwest of Baghdad and 110 km (68 mi) southwest of Mosul. It was a strongly fortified caravan city and capital of the Arab Kingdom of Hatra, located between the Roman and Parthian/Sasanian Empires. Hatra flourished in the 2nd century AD, and was destroyed by the Sassanid Empire and deserted in the 3rd century AD alongside other Neo-Assyrian populated states such as Assur, Adiabene, Osroene and Beth Nuhadra.
