The Appian Way, or Via Appia Antica, is one of Rome, Italy’s oldest and most historic roads. Established in 312 BC, it served as an essential link between Rome and the southern regions of Italy.

The road started as a leveled dirt path, which had small stones and mortar laid over it. Gravel was then added on top of this base, and finally, tightly fitting, interlocking stones were used to create a flat surface. The historian Procopius noted that the stones fit together so securely and seamlessly that they seemed to have grown together rather than being simply fitted.

However, when southpaws eagerly tried to order the burger the following day, they waited in line behind right-handed customers, who were equally concerned about ensuring they received the correct Whopper. The thought that a burger is basically, you know, a circle apparently never crossed their minds.

James Barry was a military surgeon in the British Army. She first served in Cape Town, South Africa, and later in various parts of the British Empire. Before retiring, Barry rose to the rank of Inspector General, equivalent to Brigadier, and was in charge of military hospitals.

Barry improved not only conditions for wounded soldiers but also the conditions of the native inhabitants. Additionally, she performed the first recorded cesarean section by a European in Africa, in which both the mother and child survived the operation.

Although Barry's entire adult life was lived as a man, Barry was named Margaret Anne at birth and was known as female in childhood. Barry lived as a man in both public and private life, at least in part to be accepted as a university student and pursue a career as a surgeon.

Barry's anatomy became known to the public and to military colleagues only after a post-mortem examination.
