Hammurapi (CODE OF over Elam From this)

CODE OF over Elam. From this date, his aggressive policy against the outer borders of the Fertile Crescent sent his conquering armies to wrest submission from the Assyrians. Hammurapi possessed a genius for organization, rare among the tribal Kings of the Valley lands. His methods of centralization, communication by writing and delegation of power to properly instructed military sub-lords, together with his wise and economic encourgement of agriculture, building and the arts of peace which brought his kingdom economic prosperity marked him as a great ruler. Perhaps his most valuable contribution from the standpoint of civilization was his codification of the laws of his realms.
