    Default A quick question on Babylonian history.

    So, im reading up on the Code of Hammurabi and I have 1 question. If a plaintiff calls upon the defendant and the defendant doesnt show up, or gives a false testimony...what are the chances of him being executed?

    ty. im writing an essay on the roman twelve code of laws and the code of hammurabi

    Err not doing homework for you this sounds like a time to get free JSTOR papers and search on how well Babylonian law was enforced or if this was just Royal PR. I think its free up 6 or maybe ten now.
    IN PATROCINIVM SVB Dromikaites

    'One day when I fly with my hands - up down the sky, like a bird'

    But if the cause be not good, the king himself hath a heavy reckoning to make, when all those legs and arms and heads, chopped off in battle, shall join together at the latter day and cry all 'We died at such a place; some swearing, some crying for surgeon, some upon their wives left poor behind them, some upon the debts they owe, some upon their children rawly left.

    Hyperides of Athens: We know, replied he, that Antipater is good, but we (the Demos of Athens) have no need of a master at present, even a good one.

    Your question is too broad to answer concisely, but you want the "Mesopotamia: Old Babylonian Period" section of this book (pages 361–430). If you don't have institutional access or a spare $492, it is possible to find it elsewhere.
