उत्तर
The greatest king of Babylon was Hammurabi who became famous for the first-ever codification of laws, called Hammurabi’s Code of Laws. The laws were 282 in number and were carved on both sides of eight feet stop pillar. The pillar was placed in the temple of Marduk – the Sun God. The punishments depended on the nature and circumstances of crimes and the position of the offender in society. Other ancient nations took lead from these laws.
