A #Roman leather #brief/#bikini bottom with a cut-out design, tied on each side of the hips with leather laces. Made of goat leather, from Trier, dating 2nd c. AD. So far, seven differently cut leather briefs are known. It's unclear whether they were used as underwear or whether they were worn by acrobats. A terracotta figurine from #Egypt shows briefs very similar to the one from Trier, the cut-out design is clearly visible.
