(The code of Hammurabi was one of the earliest and most complete legal codes and was proclaimed by the Babylonian king Hammurabi, who reigned from 1792 to 1750 B.C. Hammurabi expanded the city-state of Babylon along the Euphrates river to unite all of southern Mesopotamia.

Hammurabi's code was carved onto a massive, finger shaped black stone are me (pillar) that was looted by invaders and finally rediscovered in 1901)
