Why did important Romans wear purple?
"Tyrian Purple," the purple dye of the ancients mentioned in texts dating back to about 1600 B.C., was produced from the mucus of the hypobranchial gland of various species of marine mollusks, notably Murex. It took some 12,000 shellfish to extract 1.5 grams of the pure dye. (copied from pffc-online.com) Because of the rarity of the mollusks, and large quantities needed, purple dye was VERY expensive, and only upper nobility could even afford it. At different times during history certain rulers have decreed that only the ruler of the country could wear purple. As if anyone else could have afforded it.
