The Romans were more interested in regulating prostitution, not eradicating it, in spite of their general contempt for women who became prostitutes. They adopted the idea of state-controlled brothels, or lupinar (house of she-wolves) but it wasn't until the time of the Emperor Augustus that a set of codes governed the behavior, restrictions and privileges of prostitutes. They were forbidden to cover their faces in public, forbidden to wear the color purple, to wear shoes or to put their hair in fillets. They were also required to dye their hair red or yellow.
