Silphium

Silphium (also known as silphion, laserwort, or laser) was a plant that was used in classical antiquity as a seasoning and as a medicine. It was the essential item of trade from the ancient North African city of Cyrene, and was so critical to the Cyrenian economy that most of their coins bore a picture of the plant. The valuable product was the plant's resin (laser, laserpicium, or lasarpicium).

Silphium was an important species in prehistory, as evidenced by the Egyptians and Knossos Minoans developing a specific glyph to represent the silphium plant. It was used widely by most ancient Mediterranean cultures; the Romans considered it "worth its weight in denarii" (silver coins). Legend said that it was a gift from the god Apollo.

The exact identity of silphium is unclear. It is commonly believed to be a now-extinct plant of the genus Ferula, perhaps a variety of "giant fennel". The still-extant plant Ferula tingitana has been suggested as another possibility. Another plant, asafoetida, was used as a cheaper substitute for silphium, and had similar enough qualities that Romans, including the geographer Strabo, used the same word to describe both.

Silphium (genus)

Silphium is a genus of North American plants in the sunflower tribe within the daisy family.

Members of the genus, commonly known as rosinweeds, are herbaceous perennial plants growing to 0.5–4 m tall, with yellow (rarely white) flowerheads. The name of the genus comes from the Ancient Greek word for a North African plant whose identity has been lost, though it is known its gum or juice was prized by the ancients as a medicine and a condiment.

  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. ✅ Source: https://www.ancient-origins.net/news-history-archaeology/ancient-aphrodisiac-0017316 ✅ Top Images: Giant fennel (Ferula communis), Krzy...

  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. 🎧🚀😃 Get 2 free Amazon audible books + 30 days of audible free trial here. Cancel anytime. https://amzn.to/3VtnkX8 🌐 💻😃 Need a website?

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. ✅ Source: https://www.ancient-origins.net/news-history-archaeology/ancient-aphrodisiac-0017316 ✅ Top Images: Giant fennel (Ferula communis), Krzysztof Ziarnek on Wikimedia Commons CC BY-SA 4.0 A silver tetradrachm from Cyrene, ArchaiOptix on Wikimedia Commons CC BY-SA 4.0 https://www.britannica.com/biography/Pliny-the-Elder https://www.flickr.com/photos/69716881@N02/8043645933 https://www.ivek.org.tr/blog/post-medipol-ueniversitesi-prof-dr-mahmut-miski-roeportaji https://twitter.com/vagina_museum/status/1514597373850181637 https://www.numisbids.com/n.php?p=lot&sid=3374&lot=668 https://www.cointalk.com/threads/the-silphium-plant.359111/ https://astrohanasia.fandom.com/wiki/Silphium https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.lifeberrys.com/amp/holidays/5-species-that-ended-because-of-humans-20334.html https://www.kew.org/read-and-watch/silphium-mystery https://www.google.com/amp/s/musa.news/en/the-mystery-of-silphium-the-ancient-disappeared-spice-of-Cyrene/%3famp https://commons.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Turkey.Mount_Hasan001.jpg https://www.lookandlearn.com/history-images/YR0044441/Portrait-of-Emperor-Nero Rijksmuseum https://www.uhhospitals.org/Healthy-at-UH/articles/2021/02/women-dont-have-to-tolerate-sexual-dysfunction https://commons.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Aesculapius,_Apollo_and_Hippocrates_Wellcome_L0030884.jpg https://commons.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Portrait_of_Julius_Caesar_(1st_cent._B.C.)_at_the_Archaeological_Museum_of_Sparta_on_15_May_2019.jpg https://commons.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Portrait_of_Julius_Caesar_(1st_cent._B.C.)_at_the_Archaeological_Museum_of_Sparta_on_15_May_2019.jpg Photo Credits: Brewminate ✅ Music used in this video: Fragments - AERØHEAD https://soundcloud.com/aerohead Creative Commons — Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported — CC BY-SA 3.0 Free Download / Stream: https://bit.ly/al-fragments Music promoted by Audio Library https://youtu.be/O7PzeUTESAA –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– 🎵 Track Info: Title: Fragments by AERØHEAD Genre and Mood: Ambient + Calm ——— 🎧 Available on: Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3fbPEI5 iTunes: https://apple.co/30bwDBc YouTube: https://youtube.com/watch?v=ixyBazRzql4 SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/aerohead/fragm...

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. 🎧🚀😃 Get 2 free Amazon audible books + 30 days of audible free trial here. Cancel anytime. https://amzn.to/3VtnkX8 🌐 💻😃 Need a website?

Tiktok, National Geographic, even FACEBOOK are all obsessed with this plant, Silphium, which grew over 2000 years ago here near Cyrene, Libya. It’s been called THE most effective contraceptive of the ancient world. But the ancient randy Romans boinked this plant into extinction by the first century CE. Making Silphium the first victim of human-induced extinction. But is this story actually true? Who killed Silphium? And what does it have to do with a Beaver based birth-control? Let’s find out!

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. ✅ Source: https://www.ancient-origins.net/news-history-archaeology/ancient-aphrodisiac-0017316 ✅ Top Images: Giant fennel (Ferula communis), Krzysztof Ziarnek on Wikimedia Commons CC BY-SA 4.0 A silver tetradrachm from Cyrene, ArchaiOptix on Wikimedia Commons CC BY-SA 4.0 https://www.britannica.com/biography/Pliny-the-Elder https://www.flickr.com/photos/69716881@N02/8043645933 https://www.ivek.org.tr/blog/post-medipol-ueniversitesi-prof-dr-mahmut-miski-roeportaji https://twitter.com/vagina_museum/status/1514597373850181637 https://www.numisbids.com/n.php?p=lot&sid=3374&lot=668 https://www.cointalk.com/threads/the-silphium-plant.359111/ https://astrohanasia.fandom.com/wiki/Silphium https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.lifeberrys.com/amp/holidays/5-species-that-ended-because-of-humans-20334.html https://www.kew.org/read-and-watch/silphium-mystery https://www.google.com/amp/s/musa.news/en/the-mystery-of-silphium-the-ancient-disappeared-spice-of-Cyrene/%3famp https://commons.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Turkey.Mount_Hasan001.jpg https://www.lookandlearn.com/history-images/YR0044441/Portrait-of-Emperor-Nero Rijksmuseum https://www.uhhospitals.org/Healthy-at-UH/articles/2021/02/women-dont-have-to-tolerate-sexual-dysfunction https://commons.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Aesculapius,_Apollo_and_Hippocrates_Wellcome_L0030884.jpg https://commons.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Portrait_of_Julius_Caesar_(1st_cent._B.C.)_at_the_Archaeological_Museum_of_Sparta_on_15_May_2019.jpg https://commons.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Portrait_of_Julius_Caesar_(1st_cent._B.C.)_at_the_Archaeological_Museum_of_Sparta_on_15_May_2019.jpg Photo Credits: Brewminate ✅ Music used in this video: Fragments - AERØHEAD https://soundcloud.com/aerohead Creative Commons — Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported — CC BY-SA 3.0 Free Download / Stream: https://bit.ly/al-fragments Music promoted by Audio Library https://youtu.be/O7PzeUTESAA –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– 🎵 Track Info: Title: Fragments by AERØHEAD Genre and Mood: Ambient + Calm ——— 🎧 Available on: Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3fbPEI5 iTunes: https://apple.co/30bwDBc YouTube: https://youtube.com/watch?v=ixyBazRzql4 SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/aerohead/fragm...

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. 🎧🚀😃 Get 2 free Amazon audible books + 30 days of audible free trial here. Cancel anytime. https://amzn.to/3VtnkX8 🌐 💻😃 Need a website?

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.

Silphium

Silphium (also known as silphion, laserwort, or laser) was a plant that was used in classical antiquity as a seasoning and as a medicine. It was the essential item of trade from the ancient North African city of Cyrene, and was so critical to the Cyrenian economy that most of their coins bore a picture of the plant. The valuable product was the plant's resin (laser, laserpicium, or lasarpicium).

Silphium was an important species in prehistory, as evidenced by the Egyptians and Knossos Minoans developing a specific glyph to represent the silphium plant. It was used widely by most ancient Mediterranean cultures; the Romans considered it "worth its weight in denarii" (silver coins). Legend said that it was a gift from the god Apollo.

The exact identity of silphium is unclear. It is commonly believed to be a now-extinct plant of the genus Ferula, perhaps a variety of "giant fennel". The still-extant plant Ferula tingitana has been suggested as another possibility. Another plant, asafoetida, was used as a cheaper substitute for silphium, and had similar enough qualities that Romans, including the geographer Strabo, used the same word to describe both.
