Hi Dana,

Thanks for the links! It seems like the best source of information arising 
from those should be the book "Sex In History" by Reay Tannahill, ISBN 
0812885406, Scarborough House Publishers, May 1992 (this is the revised 
edition, but there's also an earlier 1980 edition).

One link listed abortifacients used in late antiquity:-
	silphium
	pennyroyal
	artemisia
	myrrh
	rue

Have any of these appeared as candidates in your botanical searching? 
Aside, that is, from the vague resemblance between silphium and f55r, which 
Dennis insisted was a joke on his part... sort of. :-)

Cheers, .....Nick Pelling.....
