It was described as having a thick root, a stalk like fennel, large alternating leaves with leaflets like celery, spherical clusters of small yellow flowers at the top and broad leaf-like, heart-shaped fruit called phyllon.
The Greeks believed the plant was a gift from Apollo which appeared after a heavy rain storm flooded the area at about the time the city of Kyrene was founded in the seventh century BC.
As a result, the loss of silphium from Kyrenaika was greatly lamented in Rome.

 Cubit - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
So, the Greek Kyrenaika Cubit measured about 463.1 mm and the Greek Metrios Cubit about 474.2 mm; respectively 25/24 and 16/15 Roman cubits.
This means 28 (later called) Greek digits of the "Pous of Kyrenaika" equal to 25/24 of a Roman foot or just 308.7 mm.
Thus 175 Roman Cubits equal 144 Black Cubits.

 Re: oh gosh Faustina
The plant is now extinct, but ancient sources described it as having a thick root, a stalk like fennel, large alternating leaves with leaflets like celery, spherical clusters of small yellow flowers at the top and broad leaf-like, heart-shaped fruit called "phyllon".
The plant was a major part of the ecomony of Kyrenaika -- modern day Libya -- and was often depicted on the city state's coinage.
It supposedly resisted attempts at cultivation and transplantation, which made it one of the major revenue sources contributing to Kyrenaika's wealth.
