What is babylonian society structured around?

King = > Nobles = > Free citizens = > Soldiers/Civil Service = > Slaves.

Three main social classes included the awilu (free persons), the wardu (slaves), and the mushkenu (free persons of low estate).

As a punishment, free persons could be forced into slavery. Parents of children could also be sold into slavery.

Babylonians based the structure of their society around their own religious beliefs and how they will prosper. They were ruthless people who conquered many nations through force. Some accounts even state that the Babylonians would kill entire civilizations, even if the civilization had surrendered without any sort of resistance.
