I am not a fertility specialist, nor do I play one on TV, but even I can think of ways to implant a fertilized egg in a woman's uterus without her having ever had sexual intercourse and while leaving her a _virgo intacta_ to examination.
There was a case years ago of a woman who was a virgin and became pregnant because she engaged in anal sex and just happened to have a fissure between her rectum and her vagina.
Sigh. Reproduction via union of sperm and egg is sex. It's not meaningful to speak of an asexual pregnancy, and it's impossible for artificial insemination techniques to have existed 2K years ago.
But the fact that we know how to do it now contradicts your absolute assertion that "Virgin conception is impossible." All it would prove if such a case did occur some 2 millennia ago is that it required intervention by someone or something with access to knowledge and technology at least equal to that available to a twenty-first-century doctor, whether that someone or something was space aliens or God.
I think it's a real stretch,
Ahem.
BTW, to say that a woman who's experienced penetrative anal intercourse is a virgin.
