Draconian Law


562

From 1200 until 900 B.C., #Hellas hadn’t yet established any official laws or punishments. #Draco later imposed the first laws and enforced extreme punishments around 620 B.C.

The word “draconian” is used to this day to describe an unreasonable #law.

Fortunately, #Solon later changed the laws, bringing a more fairer judicial system.
