You would be wrong to think that bikini season is around the corner. It has been here for centuries.
This scene from a 4th Century AD mosaic, found in the Villa Romana del Casale, shows women in bandeau tops and bikini bottoms enjoying the fun of warm weather activities. They toss a ball, run and one seems to be accepting a crown which, though tempting to suggest it is for a beauty contest, is likely for her success at some athletic endeavor.
These lovely ladies have bellies but delight in their motion in the sun. So if you are having any doubts about your potential this summer, I recommend ignoring the whispers of indecency remnant from the release of the bikini back in 1946 and embracing the casual ease of these women instead, who let the sun shine on their life.
