If you were sent back to the roman era and could only bring a backpack of goods. What would you bring?
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink4•edit-210 months agoI have heard that they have actually found silphium somewhere in Turkey (?) pretty recently! I’m not fully sure of this tho.
minus-square@RedAggroBestlink6•10 months agoThey 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.
