Collection: Nebuchadnezzar II — King of Kings

He destroyed the Temple of Solomon in Jerusalem, deported the Jews to Babylon in the event that shaped Jewish identity permanently, built the Hanging Gardens of Babylon for his wife because she missed the mountains of her homeland, rebuilt the city of Babylon so completely that it became the greatest city in the world, constructed the Ishtar Gate that still stands in the Pergamon Museum in Berlin, and appears in the Book of Daniel as a king humbled by God. Nebuchadnezzar II ruled for 43 years and left a world fundamentally altered by his passage through it. The three faiths that shaped modernity — Judaism, Christianity, Islam — all carry the mark of his reign.

These signs carry the reconstructed Babylon, the Ishtar Gate, the lion of Nebuchadnezzar, and the seal of the king who reshaped three religions.
