EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in ancient Roman history, showcasing the physical prowess and leisure activities of young Romans. The image depicts a woman playing ball, fully engaged in physical exercises alongside her companions. Dressed in traditional attire, she wears a loincloth around her kidneys and a strophium, an ancestor of the bra, on her chest. The mosaic itself is believed to date back to the 3rd - 4th century and was discovered at Villa del Casale in Piazza Armerina, Sicily. The intricate details of this artwork highlight the beauty and grace of these athletes as they partake in their recreational pursuits. It offers us a glimpse into the fashion trends of that era with its depiction of ancient swimwear resembling modern-day bikinis. This photograph by Leonard de Selva not only showcases artistic excellence but also serves as a testament to the rich cultural heritage left behind by the Roman Empire. It reminds us that even centuries ago, people found joy and fulfillment through physical activity and leisurely pastimes. As we admire this stunning piece from Fine Art Finder, let it transport us back in time to witness firsthand how sports and recreation were cherished elements of daily life for young Romans.
