[Leica] Bikinis, togas and large animals

[Peter Klein]

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.
