Does your family have one?
----------------------------
¨But why purple? When such a rare color appears in the story, everyone comes up with their own interpretation. In the Roman Empire only the emperor and his family could wear purple and, can you imagine in what another empire purple was the color of greatness? Well yes, in Ancient Egypt. In order to demonstrate her immense power, Cleopatra had the boat she sailed across the Kydnos river painted purple. We are talking about the same ancient civilization for which poop was sacred. These are a couple of keys to better understand this story.¨
