The proverb "money has no smell" originates from ancient Rome, attributed to the Roman Emperor Vespasian in the 1st century AD. It is based on a story where Vespasian imposed a tax on public urinals and, when questioned about the morality of accepting money from such a source, he allegedly remarked that money itself has no smell. The saying suggests that people often overlook the source of wealth if it serves their purposes. It reflects a pragmatic view that money is seen as valuable regardless of the means by which it was obtained.
