I wonder what it would take to get hospitals to change how women give birth based on this scientific evidence.

I was curious about the claim so I did a web search for "Roman depiction of birth" and this is the first result: https://www.worldhistory.org/img/c/p/1200x627/18720.jpg The mother appears to be sedentary, rather than supine. I doubt I would have noticed that detail had I not read the article.
