The Code of Hammurabi: King of Babylon, About 2250 B. C. (Ancient Texts and Translations)

The intention of Ancient Texts and Translations (ATT) is to make available a variety of ancient documents and document collections to a broad range of readers. The series will include reprints of long out-of- print volumes, revisions of earlier editions, and completely new volumes. The understanding of ancient societies depends upon our close reading of the documents, however fragmentary, that have survived. –K. C. Hanson Series Editor
