What is Key Facts About Hammurabi about?

The Code of Hammurabi, established by the Babylonian king Hammurabi around 1750 B.C., is one of the earliest and most comprehensive written legal codes, consisting of 282 laws that set standards for justice and commercial interactions. The laws, inscribed on a black stone stele, include principles of retribution and differentiate penalties based on social class. Rediscovered in 1901, the code has influenced legal systems and is recognized for its early acknowledgment of the presumption of innocence.
