Correct: The Code of Hammurabi is the earliest known example of a ruler publicly proclaiming to his people an entire set of laws, in an orderly arrangement, so that all of men might read and known what was required of them. Hammurabi was a ruler of ancient Babylon, probably from around 1795 B.C. to about 1750 B.C. cailz 7 pts. dharma 13 pts. naki 29 pts. kiwi68 2 pts. graeme 7 pts. misi 2 pts. yollie 9 pts. minx 9 pts. maire 18 pts Nice to see you back dharma  |
