hey friend your answer is true
The black stone stele containing the Code of Hammurabi was carved from a single, four-ton slab of diorite, a durable but incredibly difficult stone for carving.

At its top is a two-and-a-half-foot relief carving of a standing Hammurabi receiving the law—symbolized by a measuring rod and tape—from the seated Shamash, the Babylonian god of justice. The rest of the seven-foot-five-inch monument is covered with columns of chiseled cuneiform script.

The text, compiled at the end of Hammurabi’s reign, is less a proclamation of principles than a collection of legal precedents, set between prose celebrating Hammurabi’s just and pious rule. Hammurabi’s Code provides some of the earliest examples of the doctrine of “lex talionis,” or the laws of retribution, sometimes better known as “an eye for an eye.”

=> Hammurabi's Code was an important law code made in Mesopotamia during the reign of the Babylonians.

=> The code was a list of laws written by the king Hammurabi during his reign as king.

=> This code was special because it was the first law code that included laws to deal with everyone in the current society.

=> That meant  that there were laws for lower classes as well as upper classes too. 
       
=> The stele  Hammurabi's Code is written on is located in a museum in the Louvre museum in France and was actually exhibited at the Smithsonian a few years ago.
