twelve tables of the Romans
The Twelve Tables, established in ancient Rome, were a set of laws designed to ensure legal transparency and protect individual rights, emphasizing the role of citizens in the legal process. In contrast, Hammurabi's Code, created in ancient Babylon, is known for its strict and hierarchical justice system, where laws were often punitive and based on social class. While the Twelve Tables focused on civil rights and procedural fairness, Hammurabi's Code included harsh penalties and reflected the king's authority in enforcing order. Additionally, the Twelve Tables were a response to social demands for accountability, while Hammurabi's Code emphasized divine authority and moral order.

They were a written codification of law.
Well, firstly, they're completely different law sets that were written hundreds of years apart. The Twelve Tables were Rome's Constitution-like law codes. They were written and amended by many people and government terms/years. It is closer to modern law when considering the fact that it actually recognizes trial. Hammurabi's Code is a Babylonian law code collected in a timely manner by one person: Hammurabi. Despite the fact that it's older than the Twelve Tables, the Code of Hammurabi is much more specific and recognizes people's rights (aside from trial) much better.
