Hatra, (Arabic: الحضر al-Ḥaḍr), is an ancient ruined city in the Ninawa Governorate and al-Jazira region of Iraq. It is today called al-Hadr.
Hatra was founded as an Assyrian city by the Seleucid Empire some time in the 3rd century BCE. A religious and trading centre of the Parthian empire, it flourished during the 1st and 2nd centuries BC. The city became the capital of possibly the first Arab Kingdom in the chain of Arab cities running from Hatra, in the northeast, via Palmyra, Baalbek and Petra, in the southwest.
