The Roman emperors traditionally wore purple robes, symbolizing their authority and status. The color purple was associated with power and royalty due to the rarity and expense of the dye used to create it, known as Tyrian purple. This practice started with Augustus and continued through the history of the Roman Empire, with the purple toga being a distinctive sign of imperial dignity.
