Villa Romana del Casale (Sicilian: Villa Rumana d?Casali) is a Roman villa built in the first quarter of the 4th century CE and located about 5 km outside the town of Piazza Armerina; Sicily; southern Italy. Containing the richest; largest and most complex collection of Roman mosaics in the world; it is one of 44 UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Italy.

In 1959-60; the archaeologist Gino Vinicio Gentili excavated a mosaic on the floor of the room dubbed the 'Chamber of the Ten Maidens' (Sala delle Dieci Ragazze in Italian). Informally called 'the bikini girls'; the maidens appear in a mosaic artwork which scholars named 'Coronation of the Winner'. The young women perform sports including weightlifting; discus throwing; running and ball games. A woman in a toga is depicted with a crown in her hand; one of the maidens holds a palm frond.
