Hammurabi was the ruler who chiefly established the greatness of Babylon, the world's first metropolis. Hammurabi was the first ruler of the Babylonian empire. He is known for restoring order and justice to Mesopotamia.
The beginning of Hammurabi's reign was peaceful. As a defensive measure, Hammurabi had the walls around Babylon improved, and through diplomacy, made allies with many of the cities north of Babylon. In the last ten years of his reign, Hammurabi conquered Lower Mesopotamia. He used the Euphrates river to his advantage.
