Summary

A somewhat poor quality (but perpendicular-view and almost completely uncropped) overview pic of ALL of the figures in the famous "bikini girls" mosaic (found by archeological excavation of the ancient Roman villa del Casale near Piazza Armerina in Sicily). This shows women exercising, running, or receiving the palm of victory and wreath (for winning an athletic competition).

In this overview pic, you can see at the lower left, a non-bikini-clad non-competitor rushing in with wreath and palm-leaf to crown a victor. For better images of selected parts of this mosaic, see gallery page Villa del Casale .

This shows the mosaic in relatively unrestored form, not long after it was discovered.
