Hello Peter,



Although Nike was a popular greek deity, the Burkini was never a fashion among 
the Romans ladies. 😊😉

More of the magnificent mosaics at Villa Casale in Sicily.  The guides
made a big deal about the fact that the bikini wasn't new in the 1950s
and 60s. It already existed in ancient Rome, as seen on these female
athletes. Sorry, Gidget and Annette:

One of the huge floor mosaics depicts a hunting expedition to north
Africa.  Here are a few slices, showing Roman men capturing large
animals and birds, and loading them onto a galleon for shipment back to
Rome.

And here is a reminder of the brutality of slavery:
