<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 7994543, member: 19463&quot;]That one is easy.&nbsp; The last Silphium on earth is said to have been given to Nero who consumed it.&nbsp; It had been very rare before that for a while.&nbsp; The &#039;Catholic Church&#039; in the time of Nero was probably more concerned by things like avoiding being crucified than in upholding rules not previously considered.&nbsp; At that time, many/most Christians were expecting the second coming of Christ and end of the world any day now and certainly during their lifetime.&nbsp; The history of the early church and details of the various beliefs is an interesting study.&nbsp;&nbsp; We can not allow ourselves to read beliefs 2000 years later into any people of the time of Silphium.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
