The Ur-Nammu Code (or, the Code of Ur-Nammu) is one of the oldest known law codes in history. It was discovered in the ancient city of Ur in Mesopotamia (modern-day Iraq) and dates back to around 2100–2095 BCE during the Third Dynasty of Ur. The code consists of a series of laws inscribed on clay tablets, providing a glimpse into the legal system and societal values of the Sumerian civilization.
