A photograph of the mosaic was used by Sarah Pomeroy, Professor of Classics at Hunter College and the Graduate Center, City University of New York, in the 1994 British edition of her book Goddesses, Whores, Wives, and Slaves to emphasize a similar identification.

Illustrations of Roman women wearing bikini-like garments during competitive athletic events have been found in several locations.

French engineer Louis Rard introduced the modern bikini, modeled by Micheline Bernardini, on July 5, 1946, borrowing the name for his design from the Bikini Atoll, where post-war testing on the atomic bomb was happening.

French women welcomed the design, but the Catholic Church, some media, and a majority of the public initially thought the design was risque or even scandalous.

Contestants in the first Miss World beauty pageant wore them in 1951, but the bikini was then banned from the competition.

Actress Bridget Bardot drew attention when she was photographed wearing a bikini on the beach during the Cannes Film Festival in 1953.

Other actresses, including Rita Hayworth and Ava Gardner, also gathered press attention when they wore bikinis.

During the early 1960s, the design appeared on the cover of Playboy and Sports Illustrated, giving it additional legitimacy.

Ursula Andress made a huge impact when she emerged from the surf wearing what is now an iconic bikini in the James Bond movie Dr.

The bikini gradually grew to gain wide acceptance in Western society.

According to French fashion historian Olivier Saillard, the bikini is perhaps the most popular type of female beachwear around the globe because of quot;the power of women, and not the power of fashionquot.

As he explains, quot;The emancipation of swimwear has always been linked to the emancipation of women.quot; By the early 2000s, bikinis had become a US 811 million business annually, and boosted spin-off services like bikini waxing and the sun tanning.

In the Chalcolithic era around 5600 BC, the mother-goddess of atalhyk, a large ancient settlement in southern Anatolia, was depicted astride two leopards wearing a costume somewhat like a bikini.

Two-piece garments worn by women for athletic purposes are depicted on Greek urns and paintings dating back to 1400 BC.

Active women of ancient Greece wore a breastband called a mastodeton or an apodesmos, which continued to be used as an undergarment in the Middle Ages.

While men in ancient Greece abandoned the perizoma, partly high-cut briefs and partly loincloth, women performers and acrobats continued to wear it.

Artwork dating back to the Diocletian period (286-305 AD) in Villa Romana del Casale, Sicily, excavated by Gino Vinicio Gentile in 1950-60, depicts women in garments resembling bikinis in mosaics on the floor.

Some activities depicted have been described as dancing, as their bodies resemble dancers rather than athletes.

Coronation in the title of the mosaic comes from a woman in a toga with a crown in her hand and one of the maidens holding a palm frond.

Some academics maintain that the nearby image of Eros, the primordial god of lust, love, and intercourse, was added later, demonstrating the owners predilections and strengthening the association of the bikini with the erotic.

Similar mosaics have been discovered in Tellaro in northern Italy and Patti, another part of Sicily.

Prostitution, skimpy clothes and athletic bodies were related in ancient Rome, as images were found of female sex workers exercising with dumbbellsclappers and other equipment wearing costumes similar to the Bikini Girls.

Charles Seltman, a fellow of Queens College, Cambridge, curator of the Archaeology Museum there and an editor of The Cambridge Ancient History, illustrated a chapter titled quot;The new womanquot; in his book Women in Antiquity with a 1950s model wearing an identical bikini against the 4th-century mosaics from Piazza Armerina as part of a sisterhood between the bikini-clad female athletes of ancient Greco-Romans and modern woman.
