EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking relief print showcases one of the most iconic and enduring symbols of ancient civilizations: the Code of Hammurabi. Dated back to the Old Babylonian period, around 1754-1750 BC, this historical artifact was discovered in the ancient city of Susa, now located in modern-day Iran. The Code of Hammurabi, named after the legendary Babylonian king Hammurabi, is a collection of laws inscribed on a 7.62-meter-tall stele. The relief on the stele depicts Hammurabi receiving the laws from the sun god Shamash, symbolizing the divine origin of the laws. The intricately carved relief is a testament to the advanced artistic and legal systems of the ancient Babylonians. The Old Babylonian period marked a significant time in Mesopotamian history, as it saw the rise of powerful city-states, the development of cuneiform writing, and the establishment of a centralized administration. The Code of Hammurabi reflects this period's legal and administrative sophistication, as it covers a wide range of legal issues, from property disputes to criminal law. The discovery of the Code of Hammurabi in Susa was a major archaeological find, shedding light on the legal and administrative practices of the ancient Babylonians. Today, the relief is a cherished piece of world heritage, showcasing the rich history and cultural achievements of ancient civilizations. This print offers a unique opportunity to explore the intricacies of Babylonian art and history, transporting us back to a time when the laws of a great civilization were inscribed in stone.
