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.
