HOMEWORK- HAMMURABI’S CODES
Hammurabi’s greatest achievement was his code of laws, which he had engraved on a
towering stone monument called a stele. Hammurabi’s Code was important because it
created a set of rules that helped to govern a civilization while trying to protect people even
if they had little political power. It called for different punishments based on the social class
of the lawbreaker and the victim of the crime. The following are three of the laws in the
Code of Hammurabi:
203. If a free-born man (upper class) strikes the body of another free-born man or equal rank,
he shall pay one gold mina (coin).
204. If a freed slave (middle class) strikes the body of another freed slave, he shall pay ten
shekels in money.
205. If a slave strikes the body of a freed man, his ear shall be cut off.
