Reconstruction of an ancient Roman bikini on basis of a mosaic from Villa Romana del Casale in Sicily, Italy.

Mosaic from 4th Century CE from Villa Romana del Casale in Sicily in "Ten Young Girls" room shows young women doing various sports exercises and receiving awards.

Girls' outfits are confusingly similar

to modern bikinis. At same time, myth incorrectly entrenched in school textbooks, bikini as an invention of 20th Century collapses.

Wouldn't it be an independent invention if the 20th century people were not aware of the ancient bikini and therefore it wasn't collapsed. Reinventing things happens a lot in various fields. The theory of evolution by means of natural selection came into being independently by Huxley and by Darwin.
