Silphium

This was one of the earliest wonder drugs in the Roman empire, and it was mainly used as a cure all, especially when it came to fertility. When used correctly it was a contraceptive. Roman women would drink Silphium juice every few weeks and it would keep them from getting pregnant. Some scholars have even said that drinking the juice could even terminate an existing pregnancy. This plant was so valuable to the Romans that it was on several pieces of their currency.

The plant was so popular that scholars believe it was so rare and so over harvested that it died out and became extinct.
