Why did Hammurabi write his law code?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Hammurabi extended his empire northward from the Persian Gulf through the Tigris and Euphrates river valleys and westward to the coast of the Mediterranean Sea as king of Babylonia, and the greatest ruler in the first Babylonian dynasty. Hammurabi is primarily remembered for his codification of the laws governing Babylonian life.

The king took over Babylonia when the times in Mesopotamia lie in confusion, turmoil, and constant war. King after king manages to rule a city-state or a small empire for a short time by conquering neighboring city-states. But these kings are cruel to the people of the conquered city, rule unjustly, and leave turmoil and a struggle for power. Hammurabi took over to be another kind a king who ruled to unite Mesopotamia under a just law.

The Second Punic War arose from Carthages move to contol more territory in Spain, which clashed with Rome's attempts to expand its influence there. Carthage invaded Italy and put Rome on the defensive. It was eventually ended by Rome invading North Africa and captured Carthage. It imposed a heavy 50-year annual financial penalty designed to paralyse the city-state.

Asked by Wiki User

Most likely not. My best guess would be that they were worried about shelter, food and basic survival needs such as when junior brings home a sabre-tooth tiger kitten asking if he can keep it as a pet. Not a great idea on the kid's part, wouldn't you think?

How is life in Ethiopia's rural arrears different from life in Addis Ababa and how is life similar in both areas?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The life in Ethiopia's rural area is diffrent from the cities like Addis Ababa because the rural area aren't as technologically advanced as the city go-er's. Majority of them still have to go to a river source for water. have no indoor plumbing, and have no electricity.Thr rural people are farmers and still live in the strong customs that they lived 50 years ago In contrast to the people of the city, many of them have running water and electricity. The strrets are nicer and people dress like how they would in America. Although it is not as technologically advanced as America, Europe or Asia, it is on its way. This is because of Ethiopia's long living independance. The similarities are in culture and religon, and religious clothing and ethnic food (like injera, wett, dabo, ambasha). But many of the culture differs because there are different types of people(Like the Tigraye, Oromo, Welo, Gonderaye, Amhara, Bulga, etc)

What did Mesopotamians wear?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

¨A different style of dress is obvious in Mesopotamian sculptures dating after about 2370 BC. Both men and women were clothed in a large piece of material-most commonly of wool, though later also of linen-draped around the body over a skirt. This garment, similar to a shawl, was characteristically edged with tassels or fringe. The draping varied, but, for men at least, the fabric was arranged so that the fullness was at the rear, leaving the right, or sword, arm free. This newer form of dress had originated from farther north and east and was adopted by the Semitic people of Akkad under Sargon (the dynasty founded by Sargon lasted from c. 2334 to c. 2193 BC ) and by the revitalized Sumerian culture in the years 2110-2010 BC
