The Study of Belshazzar
Belshazzar was the eldest son of Nabonidus, the last king of the Neo-Babylonian empire, and regent for his father during the latter's prolonged absence from the city, although he never assumed the titles or ritual functions of kingship. His fate is unknown, but he may have been killed when Babylon fell to the Persians in 539 BCE.
