Abstract
This mosaic has been changed over time from a geometric style to a figurative style. This was likely due to water damage from pipes below the floor. Instead of repairing the original pattern, new designs were implemented. The geometric design is a perspective cubic frame around a pattern of eight-pointed stars containing a circular cord motif with floral designs. The figurative designs show female athletic figures (known as “the girls in bikinis”) arranged on two registers enclosed by a triangular frame. These women are depicted as competing in gymnastics events, and their “bikini” outfits were common suits for this. Events include a long jump, weight lifting, disc throwing, and the winner being given a victory palm and a crown of roses.
