The most expensive dye in ancient Rome was Tyrian purple, derived from the mucus of the Murex sea snail. It was highly prized for its rich, deep hue and was associated with royalty and nobility, leading to its use in garments worn by emperors and high-ranking officials. The labor-intensive process of extracting the dye made it extremely costly, often prohibiting its use by anyone below the upper classes.
