∙ 10y agoThe Code of Ur-Nammu is the oldest known surviving law code. It comes from the Sumerian city-state in ancient Mesopotamia, in modern southern Iraq. It is inscribed on tablets, in the Sumerian language. It dates to c. 2100-2050 BC. It is three centuries older than the famous Code of Hammurabi. It was remarkably advanced, for that age because it institutes fines of monetary compensation for bodily damage, instead of the 'eye for an eye') principle which was common in antiquity.
