I was visiting
TomNine and found a mention of a 1700-year-old Roman villa discovered in Sicily with mosaics featuring - wait for it - muscular women in bikinis.
Photos of the restored mosaics from the Villa del Casale site can be viewed in detail here and here. They're remarkable, to say the least.
(While I was at TomNine's site I also stole this link to . He has a lot of links and I try not to lift them wholesale, especially not the recent ones, but all I can say in my defense is that this one was too good to let pass.)
