2000 year old leather bikini
The nearly 2,000-year-old leather bikini on display at the Museum of London is one of four found at the Queen Victoria Street excavation site in London in 1953. Like the modern bikini bottom, it has adjustable sides at the hips, and the garment is believed to have been used by gymnasts and acrobatic dancers. Roman bronze figurine from Rennes depicts an acrobat wearing similar underpants.
