Babylon Independence (627 BC): As a result of the crumbling condition of the Assyrian Empire, Babylon was able to assert its independence, taking control over the city and surrounding Mesopotamian regions.
Hammurabi ruled ancient Babylonia and a good part of the Mesopotamian basin. The code of laws attributed to him is one of the earliest and most comprehensive of such law codification efforts. King Hammurabi ruled Babylon, located along the Euphrates and Tigris Rivers, from 1792â1750 BCE. During his time as king he oversaw a great expansion of his kingdom from a city-state to an empire.
