Best Answer

Babylon had a strong central government that was fair to all citizens and easily controlled. As a king, Hammurabi was a wise lawyer. He coded a list of law for the first time in history. At the outset of this history stands the figure of Hammurabi, the conqueror and lawgiver through a reign of forty-three years. Under him, the petty warring states of the lower Tigris-Euphrates valley were forced into unity and peace, and disciplined into order and security by a historic code of laws.
