Life size for premodern southern Mediterranean women, at least; my memory is that they’re pretty short by modern athlete standards, unsurprisingly!

I mean, Anise. You are a tall and stunning woman. I am 5”4. They are life size to ME (lol).

Actually what I was thinking was that there happened to be some women’s volleyball players the day I was there and they tried to measure their shadows! But yes- definitely life size in general

These mosaics (not just the bikini ones but the animals too) are incredible. So much less known than Pompeii but equally amazing

Alex Walthall, Mac Bell, and I went in 2003 I think? I was in shock.

Wanted to add these are Pucci 1956 swimsuits and I’d kill, kill for one in my wardrobe today. https://www.marieclaire.it/moda/look-star/a60043604/mosaici-di-piazza-armerina-pucci/

If you could rock one of these, you are fortunate!
