Hammurabi used this law - an "eye for an eye"

An"eye for an eye" means that if you did something bad to someone then you would get that thing done to you for a punishment.

ex.) if you poked someone's eye out then you would get your eye poked out.

Why is Hammurabis Code significant?

Hammurabis code was significant because it was one of the earliest forms of patriarchy in the world. Hammurabi also said the phrase an eye for an eye, and so on. Women were not important in this society, if you read some of his code you will notice. If a man does something wrong he can always sell his wife and children into slavery. Also class was very important in this code. If a man of higher status did something wrong the price would be less than if a man of a lower status or a woman commited the same crime. hope this helps. cheese and pickles
