AI overview
I don't have sufficient context provided to write an accurate overview of "Tigris." The single image caption you've provided only shows that Mosul is located on the Tigris's bank in 1861, but doesn't explain what Tigris is or why it matters. To write an accurate 2-sentence overview based only on the context given, I would need more information.

The Tigris ( ; see below) is the eastern of the two great rivers that define Mesopotamia, the other being the Euphrates. The river flows south from the mountains of the Armenian Highlands through the Syrian and Arabian Deserts, before merging with the Euphrates and reaching to the Persian Gulf.
