Ur-Nammu's Laws: The World's First Written Laws of Sumer

Описание: Ur-Nammu’s Laws: The First Written Legal System

Created by Sumerian King Ur-Nammu in the 2100s BCE, these are the world’s first written laws. Strict punishments were set for crimes like theft, assault, and murder to maintain order in society. Thieves had to repay ten times the value of what they stole, and offenses like injury or tooth-breaking required silver payments. These laws regulated not just justice but also the functioning of the state.
