What has The Purple got to do with PHOENICIA?
Phoenicians may, or may not, have actually discovered the purple dye they are famous for, but they mass produced it and marketed purple cloth all over the known world.
When the Phoenicians were eventually defeated by the Romans in the third Punic War, the Roman Empereror ordered the complete destruction of Carthage, the slaughter of all Phoenician citizens, men, women and children and for all traces of their civilisation to be destroyed.
What followed was total genocide and the greatest city the world had ever seen was destroyed. The land was heavily salted to prevent it from ever being cultivated again, it's huge concentric ringed harbour was demolished, then the sale of the Phoenician's purple cloth was banned and even the wearing of the purple was outlawed; only the Emperor of Rome was allowed to wear purple. Since this time the purple has always been associated with royalty.
If YOU are of Phoenician descent, recognise your inheritance and demonstrate you are Phoenician by claiming your right to wear The Purple
