Porphyry has been known and used since ancient times. Important relics and monuments in porphyry have been discovered at Assyrian-Babylonian, Egyptian and Roman sites. In Roman times the red porphyry, so called for its purple-red colour (in Latin "porphyra") was a symbol of great prestige and majesty.
