Abstract
Description
Hammurabi, King of Babylonia, ruled for forty-three years. Professor Sasson explores all the facets of Hammurabi's ancient Middle Eastern civilization - the diverse temples he built, the battles he waged to secure his borders and broaden his territory, and the alliances he forged. Professor Sasson also examines how Hammurabi ruled and the role the Code of Hammurabi played "in establishing justice in his land."
