The Hittite Law Code is an ancient legal document from the Hittite Empire, which existed in Anatolia around 1600-1200 BCE. It outlines various laws and regulations governing social behavior, property rights, and criminal justice. The code reflects the values and norms of Hittite society, emphasizing justice and order. The laws are presented in a straightforward manner, often using the principle of "an eye for an eye." This means that punishments were often equal to the offenses committed. The Hittite Law Code is significant for understanding the legal practices and societal structure of one of the early civilizations in the ancient Near East.
