Once Sumer was part of the Empire, they were treated like regular citizens. Perhaps the most remarkable and influential creation of its time, Hammurabi's code is the oldest set of laws known to exist. Hammurabi, king and chief priest of Babylonia from 1792-1750 B.C., expanded his empire greatly before focusing his energies toward wealth and justice for his people. He created a code protecting all classes of Babylonian society, including women and slaves. The ancient stone which the code was carved into was found in Susa, Iran is inscribed in the Akkadian language, using cuneiform script carved into the stele.
