Beschreibung

"Code of Hammurabi" is the most comprehensive extant collection of Babylonian laws. It was created during the reign of Hammurabi (1792–1750 BCE) of the 1st dynasty of Babylon. This work consists of his legal decisions collected toward the end of his rule and engraved on a diorite stela set up in Babylon's temple of Marduk, the national god of Babylonia. The 282 case laws in this work include economic provisions, family law, criminal law, and civil law. Punishments varied depending on the offenders' status and the circumstances of the crimes.
