If you were sent back to the roman era and could only bring a backpack of goods. What would you bring?

    Some vacuum packs to seal and save silphium from extinction.

      I have heard that they have actually found silphium somewhere in Turkey (?) pretty recently! I’m not fully sure of this tho.

        They made a guess that a plant native to Turkey was a good candidate, but it’s too far from Cyrene (most major exporter) to establish anything. Archeologists would basically need to find samples to confirm it’s identity.

          Yeah, as far as I have gathered from others, I work in the botany field, it is likely just another species in the genus.
