Hammurabi (1792-1750 BC) was considered the greatest king of Babylonia , he reigned as the sixth King during the first Babylonian dynasty, and created an empire north from the Persian Gulf through the Tigris and Euphrates river valleys and west to the shores of the Mediterranean Sea. Although he was a great military leader and administrator of his realm, Hammurabi is mostly remembered for his structure of the law governing Babylon, called the Code of Hammurabi (the earliest known formal law structure). Banks were held to the standards of the Code of Hammurabi. They were very different than they are today, as deposits were not of money, but of livestock, grain or other crops and later, Gold and Silver."
