Hammurabi was the sixth king of the First Babylonian Dynasty, reigning from 1792 BC to 1750 BC . He was preceded by his father, SinMuballit, who abdicated due to failing health. He extended Babylons control throughout Mesopotamia through military campaigns. Hammurabi is known for the Code of Hammurabi, one of the earliest surviving codes of law in recorded history. The name Hammurabi derives from the Amorite term Ammurpi , itself from Ammu and Rpi .
