Notes:
* = The Sealand Dynasty never actually controlled the city of Babylon, but by convention it is always considered the Second Dynasty of Babylonia.

** = The Eighth Dynasty of Babylonia is a poorly understood period, and it's likely that multiple dynasties ruled during this time. However, due to lack of information, it is classed as one dynasty.
