The excerpt from Hammurabi’s Code illustrates that "The law did not treat all members of society equally." The varying punishments depending on the social status of the victim (patrician vs. plebeian vs. servant) show a clear hierarchy in the application of justice, indicating that individuals of higher status received more severe punishment for similar offenses compared to those of lower status.
Read the excerpt from Hammurabi’s Code. “If a man has knocked out the eye of a patrician [aristocrat], his eye shall be knocked out. . . If he has knocked out the eye of a plebeian [commoner] . . . he shall pay one mina of silver. If he has knocked out the eye of a patrician’s servant . . . he shall pay half his value.” What does this quote illustrate about the nature of Hammurabi’s Code?
