Hammurabi Hammurabi was a Babylonian Ruler and perhaps one of the greatest lawgivers of ancient history. His purpose for these laws was to: –Cause justice to prevail in the land, to destroy the wicked and the evil, to prevent the strong from oppressing the weak… and to further the welfare of the people. The system of laws was called the Code of Hammurabi.

The Code of Hammurabi The code of Hammurabi had 282 laws. It was arranged under headings such as trade, family, work and property. It took 3,600 lines of cuneiform to write them all down. The laws were carved on a stone table that was placed in the center of the town. On the top of the column sat Samash, the god of the sun and justice. –He is shown handing Hammurabi the laws.
