Chamber Of The Maidens

Have you ever known something about ten bikini girls? They are not real ten girls in bikinis. They were from a mosaic called Coronation of the Winner. But do you know where this mosaic is located? Why did the author produced this mosaic? Did these girls really wear bikinis which were like those in the modern times, such as high waisted cheeky bikinis? All of these answers will be found in the following part. Now continue your reading so that you will have a better understanding of this work.

Sala delle Dieci Ragazze

This mosaic which included ten bikini girls is from Villa Romana del Casale. It is a big and splendid villa, which is 3 kilometers away from the town of Piazza Armerina, Sicily. In this villa, archaeologists found one of the world’s largest and most abundant mosaics, which could be dated back to the 4^th century B.C. The mosaic and opus sectile floors in this villa cover an area of about 3,500 m² and they were preserved in a different way due to landslide and floods.

In 1959, Gentili discovered a mosaic on the floor of a room, which was named the “Rome of the Gymnasts” later by archaeologists. This mosaic was given the name of Coronation of the Winner. In this mosaic, ten young girls were found in bikini-style clothes. And they joined in some sports, such as weightlifting and ball games. An official in a gown was holding a trophy on the left side while the winner was at the center of the whole mosaic. Bikini-style clothes worn by these girls became the spotlight instantly after the mosaic was excavated. This kind of clothes was very similar to modern bikinis. To some extent, it could be regarded as the prototype of modern two-piece bikinis.
