Sinossi

Hammurabi, the sixth king of the Amorite First Dynasty of Babylon, ruled from 1792 to 1750 BC. He secured Babylonian dominance over the Mesopotamian plain through military prowess, diplomacy, and treachery. This important Babylonian king is now universally known for a fundamental and surprisingly modern legal code that he promulgated for his subjects. The Code of Hammurabi is a Babylonian legal text composed during 1755-1750 BC. It is the longest, best-organized, and best-preserved legal text from the ancient Near East. It is written in Akkadian, purportedly by Hammurabi of Babylon. The primary copy of the text is inscribed on a basalt stele 2.25 m. tall discovered in 1901 at the site of Susa, today in the Louvre Museum, in Paris.
We are glad to offert today to our readers the Code of Hammurabi translated into English by Leonard William King, with commentaries from Charles F. Horne, Ph.D. (1915), and Claude Hermann Walter Johns, M.A. Litt.D. (1910).

    “If you know others and you know yourself, even in one hundred battles you will not find yourself at risk; if you do not know others, but you know yourself, you will win some battles and lose others; if you do not know others and you do not know yourself, you are at risk in every battle.” 
    The Art of War is considered the oldest recorded treatise on military strategy. Written around the year 500 BC, this book uncovers the secrets of logic and armament, outlines the systems of authority, explains the keys to communication and discipline, differentiates the levels of military rank, and above all establishes absolutely innovative guidelines for strategy that are still used today. 
    Its teachings go beyond the literal concept of “war.” For Sun Tzu, the successful person achieves his goals without devastating or humiliating others. The triumphant person prepares a tactic to achieve his goals, takes advantage of his opportunities, accepts his weaknesses, and recognizes his strengths. Those ideas led to the practice of applying the philosophy of The Art of War to questions of business and personal betterment. 
    The words of Sun Tzu are read today as a manual for behaviors that help one defeat obstacles in various parts of life in order to achieve victory and exercise dominion over all who keep him from the path to success.

    The Byzantine-Sassanid Wars were a series of conflicts between two of the most powerful empires of the ancient world: the Byzantine Empire, which was the eastern continuation of the Roman Empire, and the Sassanid Empire, the dominant Persian state in the region. These wars spanned several centuries, with periodic intervals of peace, but the conflicts fundamentally shaped the history of the Middle East and had profound implications for the future of both empires. 
    The Byzantine Empire, centered around the city of Constantinople, inherited the legacy of Rome after the Western Roman Empire fell in the 5th century. Under the leadership of Emperor Justinian I in the 6th century, the Byzantine Empire reached its greatest territorial extent, but its eastern frontier, bordering the Sassanid Persian Empire, remained a volatile region. The Sassanid Empire, founded by Ardashir I in the 3rd century, was a formidable military power that sought to expand its influence in the East and to challenge the supremacy of Rome and later, the Byzantine Empire. 
    The conflicts between these two empires were not only territorial struggles but also ideological battles. Both empires sought to exert control over strategic regions, particularly the eastern Mediterranean, the Levant, and Mesopotamia. The Byzantines were primarily concerned with the defense of their empire and their Christian faith, which was a central aspect of their identity. Meanwhile, the Sassanids, who adhered to Zoroastrianism, viewed the Byzantine Empire as a rival both politically and religiously. This religious dimension added complexity to the conflict, as each empire sought to spread and protect its belief system.
