Purple dye, Tyrian, impacted the Mediterranean region in that it was so rare it became a symbol of great status and wealth.

Tyrian purple, also known as royal purple, was produced by Phoenecian people that lived in the city of Tyre, during the Bronze Age. This kind of purple marveled people and was so expensive it became a symbol of power and richness. The dye was extracted from the murex shellfish and Phoeneciansprepared to be exported to many regions, including Carthage where Romans adopted the color as an imperial symbol of authority.
