It's unknown, since the Torah does not give dates. But Hammurabi lived around the same time as Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

Sargon the Great
Hammurabi ruled the ancient Babylon kingdom.
Hammurabi made a great leader was because he tried to make everything fair to everyone. That is why he made the Code of Hammurabi but not everyone could read. He created the first code for which all citizens had to obey, and he incorperated other cultures and learned from them. He tried to make life fair, though by today's standards it would be considered unfair and harsh.
there is no one person who is considered the greatest leader of the Hebrews. There have been many great leaders, such as: Abraham Jacob Joseph Moses David Solomon Esther
Abraham the Hebrew was promised by God that he would he would become renowned, that he would become a great nation, and that he would be blessed by Him, after he would leave Mesopotamia (Genesis 12:1-2). See also:More about Abraham
The vegetation in Mesopotamia is great!
Hammurabi is known for being the maker of the code of Hammurabi
The great king of the Babylonians is Hammurabi
Nebuchadnezzer was king of the Chaldeans in Mesopotamia. The Chaldeans were the first people to make a 7-day week (they captured Ninevah in 612 B.C.). Nebuchadnezzer built the Hanging Gardens (one of the 7 Wonders of the Ancient World) for his homesick, foreign wife. So he probably was considered great! P.S. If you're studying or learning about Mesopotamia, might want to check out Hammurabi! :-)
