In Hammurabi's Code, punishments were often based on the principle of retaliation, commonly summarized by the phrase "an eye for an eye." This means that the punishment should correspond directly to the offense committed, reflecting a sense of balance and justice. The idea was to ensure that the punishment was proportional to the crime, thereby discouraging wrongdoing and maintaining social order. This principle aimed to limit excessive retribution and provide a structured legal framework for resolving disputes.
