This comic's comments

Venus from Museum Burg Linn, GermanyWomen in flagrante are often depicted in Roman art with their breasts covered, but I have wonder whether it's because of how difficult a Roman bra must have been to put on and take off. According to Roman clothing expert A. T. Croom, a breastband (strophium or fascia or fascea) was up to 5 meters long, a strip of cloth wrapped around the chest a half dozen times. The common Latin term for "breastband" also means "bandages."

Also, I don't want to corrupt any readers with shocking displays! ;)
