What makes you doubt celery seed was period. They had celery, although
for a long time it was apparently more a medicinal than a food item.
Also, from some reports from this list, the celery they had differed
somewhat from what we know of today as 'celery' but I'm not sure that
the seeds would have changed that much.

Anyway, for more information check this file in the FOOD-VEGETABLES
section of the Florilegium:
