The Twelve Tables came about as a result of the long social struggle between patricians and plebeians. The Hammurabi code is the first know codified set of laws known to men in existence and it includes all classes of citizens, military and the slave. After the expulsion of the last king of Rome, Tarquinius Superbus, the Republic was governed by a hierarchy of magistrates. Initially only patricians were eligible to become magistrates and this, among other plebeian complaints, was a source of discontent for plebeians. There were no treatment to people as plebeians in the Hammurabi code.
