The birth of Caesar, 1473. The mother lies fully clothed on a table, looking distressed, as doctors pull the future Julius Caesar from the incision in her stomach in an early example of Caesarean section. The cognomen "Caesar" of the Julii family of ancient Rome was thought to have originated from a birth by this means. From "Les Commentaires de Cesar"
