16th June 1659
Baghdad, Safavid Empire
The military camp in Baghdad is located right in the ruins of the Baghdad fortress. After the fortress was breached in order to defeat the general from the Zangana family, it was immediately rebuilt and reused since it is located at a higher elevation, giving it some strategic advantage and more importantly, it is in a terrain that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. The only reason why the Atashban family was able to breach this fortress which inherently had a strategic advantage in the first place was because of the continuous bombardment of high-caliber cannons for weeks on end and the inexperience of the Zangana soldiers.
Currently, in the Baghdad military barracks, the flags of both the Zoroastrian religion, symbolized by the picture of Omnipotent god Ahura Mazda, and even the flag of the Achaemenid Empire aka the Persian Empire, symbolized by an eagle with its wings stretched, could be seen.
