This book examines and compares ancient legal codes and legal thinking from eight historical societies: Mesopotamia, Egypt, Greece, China, India, the Roman Republic, Rabbinic times, and the Roman Empire. This volume progresses through Hammurabi's Code, and the law of the pharaohs, the codes of the ancient rabbis and the Roman Emperor Justinian.
This is a study of what constituted legality and the role of law in ancient societies. Investigating and comparing legal codes and legal thinking of the ancient societies of Mesopotamia, Egypt, Greece, India, the Roman Republic, the Roman Empire and of the ancient Rabbis, this volume examines how people used law to create stable societies. Starting with Hammurabi''s Code, this volume also analyzes the law of the pharaohs and the codes of the ancient rabbis and of the Roman Emperor Justinian. Focusing on the key concepts of justice equity and humaneness, the status of women and slaves, and the idea of criminality and of war and peace; no other book attempts to examine such diverse legal systems and legal thinking from the ancient world.
