Caesarean Section, 17th Century

A woodcut from 1601. Four male assistants prepare a woman for a cesarean section; the physician stands to the left holding a razor; there is a prominent scar on the woman's abdomen suggesting that this is not her first cesarean. The Roman Lex Regia of Numa Pompilius (715-673 BC), required that the child of a mother dead in childbirth be cut from her womb, a religious requirement that mothers not be buried pregnant, that evolved into a way of saving the fetus when it was realized the woman could not survive the delivery. Speculation that Julius Caesar was born by the method is false. A Caesarean section is a surgical procedure in which one or more incisions are made through a mother's abdomen and uterus to deliver one or more babies. A Caesarean section is usually performed when a vaginal delivery would put the baby's or mother's life or health at risk.
