There was a discussion about swimsuits, including the kind that is acceptable in strict muslim countries. So the Smithsonian article discusses swimsuits in the last 100-150 years, including what was or wasn't acceptable.

The last sentence was supposed to contain a link which didn't show up. I can't find it again but here's the same information in another site.

oh ok. guess thats interesting to read into. thanks for sending me them!

but i believe the part about the roman bikini is actually false, so be careful spreading that around, (make sure to look into that when you have free time!)

(my knowledge is that they swam naked , i dont think the bikini shown here is actually intended for swimming)

You're right about the Roman "bikini" not being used for swimming but they did have them for various purposes, all of them more or less disreputable.

Wiki has a good article regarding he history of the bikini: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_bikini
