Who Was Nabonidus and What Was His Connection to Ancient Arabia? During the time of Nabonidus, parts of the northern Arabian Peninsula were incorporated into the Neo-Babylonian Empire . In fact, it was Nabonidus himself who was responsible for this development. The great Mesopotamian civilization he led extended from the Persian Gulf to the Mediterranean Sea. From Nabonidus’s perspective, it made perfect sense to conquer and occupy territory on the Arabian Peninsula, since its northernmost lands lay just to the south of the heart of the Neo-Babylonian Empire (its spectacular capital city of Babylon was located along the Euphrates River in what is now Iraq).
