As you know, under the name of the Caesar section is an operation, with the help of which in case of impossibility of giving birth per vias naturales new pathways are created for the birth of the fetus through the incision of the abdominal wall and the wall of the uterus. The idea of the operation is so simple that it suggests itself. Indeed, the emergence of the idea of this operation dates back to ancient times. We find indications of this method of delivery already in Greek mythology. In this way, the birth of Aesculapius took place. In ancient Rome, the requirement to perform the Caesar section indeed, on the dead was embodied in the form of a law (the so-called lex regia de inferendo mortuo) attributed to Numa Pompilius.
