This topic on a cooking list, who'd a thunk it!

First off - for pretty much all things roman:

Piazza Armerina has teh 'bikini girls' mosaic:

So. No bunny fur bikinis, however -
doumentation for leather bottoms for those indulging in exercise with other
women and possibly as an acrobatic performer. Not something that a 'nice'
well brought up woman of good family would wear [they wouldn't be dancers or
acrobats] out of the woman's area of the baths [where exercise was generally
done unless you had a large enough dwelling to include baths and a
gymnasium.]

Bandeau top, unspecified material. Possibly fabric such as linen. I would
also surmise that bottoms may have also been made of linen, just none
managed to survive.
