someone or another is always calling Rome to be Babylon when there wasn’t a Rome at that point in the OT. So my question was exactly what city did Babylon refer to?

In its 294 occurrences it can refer to the actual city or spiritually to other city/states or the world system, that being interpretive, but while you want to both hold Peter as the pope in Rome and exclude the church of Rome as being the Babylon of Rev. (not that i hold it as necessarily being so) , yet you have,

The church that is at Babylon, elected together with you, saluteth you; and so doth Marcus my son. (1 Peter 5:13)
