According to a text that might have been drawn up as an aide-memoire for Nebuchadnezzar II, the Babylonian king who completed the outer eastern wall of Babylon, the Seashore Gate is the fifth of the five gates and, presumably, the westernmost on the southern stretch of wall. The “City Walls of Babylon C” text records that there were thirty towers between it and Sun of the Gods Gate (to the east).
