Silphium Contraceptive
Birth Control is a topic that is long talked about and will not end shortly. A popular plant that existed during Ancient Rome went into extinction because of the practices of the people during that time. The Silphium plant, a species of fauna and flora, went out of existence as people used it as a form of birth control.

The worst part of it is that it went into extinction even before the Roman Empire ended because people overused the plant. The plant was also popular for making perfumes and as a source of food seasoning. It had great value as its seed was worth more than silver, and the only evidence of its existence is the one on the coin from the Roman reign.
