The Code of Hammurabi
Hammurabi was a ruler of ancient Babylon from about 1790-1750 BC. He’s most famous for writing down one of the first and most comprehensive listing of laws that existed during his reign. Hammurabi’s writings covered both civil and criminal law ranging from general to quite specific.
