Hammurabi was the first king of the
Babylonian Empire, reigning from 1792
B.C. – 1750 B.C. During his time in
power, he conquered Sumer and Akkad,
amassing those cultures for his
territory.
The laws were strict and
absolute. Hammurabi’s Code
was carved into a large slab
of stone of black basalt
(known as a stela) and
displayed publicly. Thus, no
citizen or slave could claim
he was not aware of a
certain law or infraction.
This stela, which stood 8
feet high, was discovered in
1901 in Elam (now SW Iran).
