Search for the Perfect Aphrodisiac

I'm Kevin 32 and I studied Latin in school and university and came across a recipe for the perfect Aphrodisiac. One big problem the main ingredient is herb Silphium which by all accounts is extinct and as far as can discover. My only chance is to go to the ancient city of Cyrene which Silphium came from and investigate the area in a hope of finding a plant still existing. Big problem the city of Cyrene is in Libya and there's a civil war going on at the moment. I've tried making the recipe and adding other herbs and none have worked, the herb if found would be priceless. But I continue to hope and search other locations around the Roman world major old cities with a similar climate to Cyrene that just might have Silphium growing wild as a weed. I have a basic idea of what it looks like as the ancient Greeks made a coin with its image on it. I even check out finds of ancient seeds in the hope that one is Silphium. Even if the seed is unusable its DNA may be okay. Till I get lucky I'll just have to keep paying women for sex, just as well I'm well off money wise. I'm not any good in relationships. Off to Rome again and checking every plant I come across. Lucky I studied Botany and became a Botanist, the plant if found would be worth multi millions of dollars. As its is suppose to be a cure all in medicine as well.
