Babylonian raven?

Did the Babylonians really call it the "Babylonian raven" (as opposed to simply "raven")? Was there another raven constellation they were distinguishing it from? Was it supposed to represent the particular ravens around Babylonia (as opposed to the ravens of surrounding nations)? Was it a symbol of their nation?--Khajidha (talk) 11:35, 7 September 2017 (UTC)Reply

No, good point. Adjective removed. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 14:33, 7 September 2017 (UTC)Reply
