Ancient Aphrodisiacal and ‘Cure-All’ Plant Rediscovered!
Pliny the Elder claimed Emperor Nero consumed the last stalk of silphion, which was believed to have gone extinct almost 2000 years ago. But now, a Turkish professor claims to have identified the ancient aphrodisiac and cure-all.
One of the most valued and highly sought-after plants in the ancient Mediterranean was silphion ( Ferula drudeana .) Also known as laserwort and silphium, ancient Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans produced a medicinal gum-resin from this golden-flowering plant which they used not only in medicines, but also in foods and perfume. And while it was widely used as a powerful aphrodisiac it also had contraceptive qualities.

Silphium: History's Tastiest Contraceptive
Great lengths have been taken in human history to acquire spices in order to give flavoring to our food. Entire economies and empires have been established to trade in these sought-after seasonings.
Come learn about silphium, an ancient spice in such high demand, that within a few centuries it was driven to extinction. A demand that was maximized not only by silphium’s exquisite taste, but its reputation as the perfect substance to prevent unwanted pregnancies!

Ancient Romans' Mysterious Extinct Cured-All Herb #shorts
Ancient Romans had access to this mysterious herb called Silphium. You could hear about it in poems and songs. See it on coins. There are also detailed drawings of it done by different artists available. It was as integrated into the ancient Roman culture as it could be.
The plant was used to treat many ailments, was the first effective birth control, was as valuable as gold, and was eaten as a food source.
The ancient Romans loved the herb so much that they drove it to extinction. The last discovered stalk was retrieved and given to emperor Nero.
Today, the herb is still extinct.

Great lengths have been taken in human history to acquire spices in order to give flavoring to our food. Entire economies and empires have been established to trade in these sought-after seasonings.
Come learn about silphium, an ancient spice in such high demand, that within a few centuries it was driven to extinction. A demand that was maximized not only by silphium’s exquisite taste, but its reputation as the perfect substance to prevent unwanted pregnancies!

Ancient Romans had access to this mysterious herb called Silphium. You could hear about it in poems and songs. See it on coins. There are also detailed drawings of it done by different artists available. It was as integrated into the ancient Roman culture as it could be.
The plant was used to treat many ailments, was the first effective birth control, was as valuable as gold, and was eaten as a food source.
The ancient Romans loved the herb so much that they drove it to extinction. The last discovered stalk was retrieved and given to emperor Nero.
Today, the herb is still extinct.

In this film you will see a group of historians and archaeologist taste foods prepared with the newly discovered resin that may be the ancient and long extinct silphium of Cyrenaica. I have been working with the pharmacist Mahmut Miski who discovered this plant growing in Turkey and identified it as potentially silphium. Before you watch please go to the blog
www.atasteoftheancientworld.co.uk to read about the build up to the tasting and how the dishes were chosen.
