*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
The Oldest Code of Laws in the World, attributed to Hammurabi, the King of Babylonia, is a significant historical document that outlines a comprehensive set of laws governing various aspects of society. This code is inscribed on a stele and features 282 laws that address issues such as trade, property rights, family relations, and criminal justice. The principles of justice and retribution, famously encapsulated in the phrase "an eye for an eye," reflect the values and social order of ancient Babylon, providing insight into the civilization's legal and moral framework.***Hammurabi's Code is not only a legal document but also a testament to the sophistication of Babylonian society. It illustrates the importance of law in maintaining order and justice in a complex urban environment. The stele itself, adorned with a relief of Hammurabi receiving the laws from the sun god Shamash, symbolizes the divine authority behind the legal system. This ancient code has influenced legal thought throughout history and remains a crucial reference point in the study of law and governance.
