    I think the ingredient Silphium described in this dish (Now considered extinct) could be Sea Holly (Eryngium spp). Its highly debated as many authors think it is some extinct variety of fennel, but from the images on the coins it doesnt look like a Fennel.

    I thought it was German and had an awful time trying to parse it. Makes so much more sense once one knows it's Greek.
