Lupercalia was popular and one of the few pagan holidays still celebrated 150 years after Christianity was legalized in the Roman Empire. Today, the heart is a universal symbol of love and affection. We see its iconography everywhere: in artwork, fashion, and advertising. Silphium is a species of giant fennel with heart shaped seeds that once grew on the coasts of North Africa. The fragrant herb had many medicinal and practical uses, including as an aphrodisiac and in the 6th century CE, the ancient Greeks and Romans used it as a contraception.
