The three most absurd laws in ancient Rome. In ancient Rome, if a husband caught his wife drinking wine, he had the right to kill her. The reason why Roman women were forbidden to drink wine was because it was believed that alcohol would encourage immoral behavior. In Rome, ordinary citizens were prohibited from wearing the color purple. Since purple was considered the most prestigious and flashy color in Roman society, it was reserved only for emperors. Another interesting law was that prostitutes were required to dye their hair blonde. Since Roman women were generally brunettes, blonde hair color was considered an undesirable color. For this reason, in order to humiliate prostitutes and distinguish them from other prestigious women, it was made mandatory for these women to dye their hair blonde.
