This comparison of ancient legislative processes looks at several examples. Josiah's reforms in Jerusalem and Solon's laws in Athens are analyzed; the development of three legal codes are compared: Deuteronomy (5th Book of Moses), Gortyn in Crete and the Twelve Tables in Rome; and ancient legislation on asylum is considered. The ensuing discussion among scholars is documented, so highlighting the challenges and possibilities of an intercultural comparison of ancient societies.
