Hammurabi's code is similar to that of Rome's Twelve Tables. It was a central basis of law that created a set of rules, much like the United States' Constitution, so that Babylon would not be a lawless anarchy. The code also was bias towards the eldest male of the family (father, grandfather, and on occasion son). For example, if a child hit his/her father, then the hand they struck him with was cut off.

What was the fundamental principle of the code of Hammurabi?
"An eye for an eye ..." is a paraphrase of Hammurabi's Code, a collection of 282 laws inscribed on an upright stone pillar. The code was found by French archaeologists in 1901 while excavating the ancient city of Susa, which is in modern-day Iran. Hammurabi is the best known and most celebrated of all Mesopotamian kings. He ruled the Babylonian Empire from 1792-50 B.C.E. Although he was concerned with keeping order in his kingdom, this was not his only reason for compiling the list of laws. When he began ruling the city-state of Babylon, he had control of no more than 50 square miles of territory. As he conquered other city-states and his empire grew, he saw the need to unify the various groups he controlled.
