In 1901 French archaeologists discovered a stone pillar in the ruins of the Persian city of Susa. The text carved on a pillar was the oldest code of laws. IT was drafted BY Hammurabi, king of Babylon, in the 18th century BC. The Code of Hammurabi consisted of 282 articles. Installed in the temple of the Babylonian god Marduk, the pillar of the laws was to serve justice, at the same time reminding: Laws need to know everything. The Code covered all areas of life. It outlawed blood feud, murder, kidnapping the bride. Punishment for these WAS severe. The idea of retribution was central to the Code : punishment was to measure up to the crime : an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. UNDER the Code, if a person accused another of THEFT and was not able to bring (provide) witnesses to prove his words, he WAS PUT TO (punishable by) death as a slanderer. The Code also covered issues of property and inheritance. Hammurabi established a monetary penalty depending on the type of crime and citizen's status.
