We delve into the significance of the code's "eye for an eye" principle and how it reflected the societal norms of the time. Discover the real-life applications of these laws, from marriage rights to construction responsibility, and learn about the enduring influence of Hammurabi’s codification of law on modern legal systems. This episode uncovers the complexities of ancient justice and sheds light on the foundational principles that continue to guide us today.
