The image appears to be an antique engraving or print depicting an artist's imaginative interpretation of the ancient city of Babylon, titled "BABYLONIS MURI." It features several notable structures and scenes that give the image a historical and mythological feel. On the left, a tall, slender obelisk and a statue of a nude figure are prominently displayed. In the foreground, we see a dramatic encounter featuring a rearing horse with a rider, both seemingly alarmed by a fire from which beasts (one that looks like a dragon) are emerging, confronting both the horse and rider. This surreal interaction implies a scene of chaos or danger. The center of the image is dominated by a massive circular structure, which could represent the base of the Tower of Babel, a structure that is traditionally associated with the city of Babylon but is exaggerated here in its depiction. To the right, the scene includes a building with multiple arches and palm trees, giving it an exotic or Middle Eastern feel consistent with Babylon's geographic location. Boats can be seen on the river, suggesting the city's role as a trade center. In the distance, we can view the cityscape with various buildings, towers, and fortified walls. The backdrop features mountains, adding to the overall grandeur of the city's setting. Text in various scripts and the date "1572" appears at the bottom of the image, which suggests when this print was made or represents a particular historical date relevant to the artwork's depiction of Babylon. Overall, this image is a detailed and intricate depiction of a historical city, blending elements of history with imagination and artistic license.
