The Hammurabi Code is the emblem of Mesopotamian civilization. The high basalt stele erected by the King of Babylon in the eighteenth century B.C. is a work of art, a historical and literary work and the most complete legal collection of antiquity, prior to biblical laws. Transported by a prince from the neighbouring country of Elam to Iran in the 12th century B.C. the monument was exhibited on the acropolis of Susa among other prestigious Mesopotamian masterpieces.
