He is known for his Code of Laws, which was inscribed on a stele in Akkadian and displayed publicly for all citizens to read. The Code's 282 specific legal injunctions, attributed to the god Marduk, have had a lasting impact and are often compared to the biblical Ten Commandments. Dominique Charpin, a renowned modern scholar of ancient Babylon, explores Hammurabi's life and achievements in this engaging appraisal. Charpin highlights Hammurabi's ability as a ruler and his contributions to the history of civilization.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e                            \u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 416g                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 233 x 155 x 20 (mm)                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781350197787                                                      \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"DominiqueCharpin","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44094411112698,"sku":"9781350197787","price":35.33,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/4d818176378a726d5980b5c2c48d58a4.jpg?v=1635823494","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/hammurabi-of-babylon","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
