King Hammurabi ruled Babylon from 1792 to 1750 BC. He created this code throughout all the Babylonian territory until south of the Euphrates River. Historians consider that this is the oldest legal code in human history.

The code included 282 articles or precepts that people had to follow in daily interactions and trade transactions, and include severe punishment if the code was disobeyed.
