Hammurabi of Babylon defeated the Akkadians and extended Babylonian rule to the Mediterranean Sea during the Golden Age of Babylon in 1800 BCE. He established important reforms including an irrigation system, better buildings like temples and walls, a fair tax system, government housing, straight roads, and designating one major god for all of Babylonia. Perhaps his most influential reform was establishing one of the first written legal codes, which some saw as cruel but others viewed as fair.
