"The Code of Hammurabi" is the most complete and perfect extant collection of Babylonian laws, developed during the reign of Hammurabi (17921750 BCE) of the 1st dynasty of Babylon.
The Code consists of his legal decisions that were collected toward the end of his reign and inscribed on a diorite stela set up in Babylon's temple of Marduk, the national god of Babylonia. These 282 case laws include economic provisions (prices, tariffs, trade, and commerce), family law (marriage and divorce), as well as criminal law (assault, theft) and civil law (slavery, debt). Penalties varied according to the status of the offenders and the circumstances of the offences.
