    The Hammurabi Code was a set of 282 laws established in ancient Mesopotamia between 1792-1750 BCE by King Hammurabi of Babylon to govern his expanding empire. It established consistent laws and consequences for different social classes to ensure fairness and justice. Hammurabi united the region now known as Iraq under his rule and centralized the laws to administer to a growing population across the fertile Tigris and Euphrates river valleys. The Code reflected the structured, civilized society of Ancient Babylonia with its social hierarchy and financial system.
