	Barea Soranus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Soranus was accused of intimacy with Rubellius Plautus (another object of Nero's hatred), and of endeavouring to obtain the goodwill of the provincials by treasonable intrigues.
		Soranus was condemned to death (in 65 or 66), and committed suicide.
		His daughter Servilia, who was charged with having consulted the sorcerers, professedly in regard to her father's fate, but in reality with evil designs against the emperor, was involved in his downfall.

		It is, therefore, very likely that Soranus developed special skills in the art of the diseases of women and children in addition to his diverse interest in surgery, to which his works testify.
		Soranus belonged to the Methodist school and, in this context, his writings are of great significance: the scope of his knowledge and the thoroughness in his approach to illness extended far beyond the basic doctrines of the school of which he was an unquestioned champion.

	Sex and Childbirth in Ancient Rome
		Soranus suggests that women "from the ages of fifteen to fortynot mannish, compact, oversturdy or too flabby and very moist," with uteri as, "neither very moist or dry, not too lax or constricted,"were one's best shot at producer of offspring.
		Soranus also believed women should be "sober during coitus" because the soul becomes "the victim of strange fantasies" during drunkenness and the offspring will resemble the mother in body and soul.
		Soranus seems to think that if the midwife's hands are so wrapped, she will not inadvertently squeeze the baby too hard in her efforts to maintain a firm hold.

		Soranus recommends that the sides of the chair from the seat to the floor be completely closed in with boards while the front and the back be left open for the midwife's work.
		Soranus mentions later that if a midwife's stool is not available, the parturient can sit on the lap of another woman, who, understandably, must be robust enough to bear the mother's weight and hold her still.
		Soranus directs the midwife to ease the labor pains with gentle massage, with a cloth soaked in warm olive oil laid over the abdomen and genital area, and with the equivalent of hot-water bottles- bladders filled with warm oil- placed against the woman's sides.

		Strabo connects this ceremony with the worship of Feronia, and this circumstance, as well as the proximity of the sanctuary of the two divinities, shows, that Soranus and Feronia probably belonged to the same religion.
		If, therefore, we suppose that there was only one physician of the name of Soranus who was born at Ephesus, the date assigned by Suidas to the son of Menander will agree tolerably well with that which we gather from other sources; he is quoted by Caelius

		Soranus thought that only dissection would convince the Roman doctors that in a virgin the vagina was not normally sealed by a membrane stretching between the neck of the womb and the hymen.
		Soranus mentions only a reduction or moderation of sexual activity and says that women should be allowed to dictate the frequency and nature of sexual relations at this time according to their habits and the discomfort caused by their periods.
		Indeed Soranus suggested that fathers should not give their daughters in marriage until they had menstruated, generally around the age of fourteen.52 The title of his eighth chapter, ‘Until what age should girls be kept virgins?’, makes it clear that he was addressing fathers.

		Soranus argues that the best midwives should be literate so that they can be knowledgeable about obstetrics and pediatric theory.(22) Soranus's demand for literacy presumes that there was material for the midwives to read.
		In a lengthy section, Soranus treats the conditions under which the fetus itself causes a difficult delivery and gives detailed instructions for handling various kinds of cases, including those in which the fetus is dead.(51) Unfortunately, it is impossible to tell even roughly what proportion of births were subject to these complications.
		Soranus indicates that some people use cummin here, but he states that cummin is too pungent to be used on an infant.(68) Throughout his discussion of the care of the newborn, Soranus stresses the delicacy of the infant and recommends those treatments he thinks least likely to cause it discomfort.

		Soranus suggests the use of one or more of these same plants in combination with a vaginal suppository.
		Soranus specifically mentions ten plants (see appendix) in his recipes of which modern medical science has found eight to be effective, or at least to have an effect as a contraceptive and an abortifacient.

		Soranus reasoned that the best midwives should be literate so that they can be knowledgeable about obstetrics and pediatric theory.

		Several methods of abortion which rely upon herbs are evident in the texts provided by Soranus and Dioscorides.
		In order to abort the fetus during the early months of pregnancies, Soranus and Dioscorides suggest dietary diuretics, laxatives with pungent clyster, and lupine beans, which are poisonous unless properly prepared.
		Also, although archaeological finds (Milne, 81) have provided evidence for the surgical removal of a fetus, it is believed (since such methods hardly ever appear in medical texts) that this method of abortion was neither common nor frequently recommended.
