Hammurabi's greatest accomplishment was the creation of the Code of Hammurabi , the first known written code of law, around 1780 BCE . This code established a set of laws intended to unify and govern the Babylonian empire, addressing various aspects of daily life and justice. Its principles of justice and protection for the weak were revolutionary at the time and have influenced legal systems throughout history.
