==Prehistory - 1800== *170,000 BP Humans first wore clothing, a date suggested by evidence based on Lice DNA which shows when the clothing louse first began to diverge genetically from the human head louse.〔(Study of lice DNA shows humans first wore clothes 170,000 years ago ), physorg, January 6, 2011 by Danielle Torrent〕 * 720 BC: According to one legend, an athlete, Orsippos of Megara who discards his loincloth wins his race at the Olympic Games. A variation of the legend asserts that the loincloth accidentally falls off a runner at the Olympics who trips on it, strikes his head, and dies. So for reasons of either improved athletic performance or for safety, ancient Greek Olympic athletes compete naked.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Olympic Games )〕 *From c. 650 BC in Sparta, both women and men occasionally went nude in certain festivals and exercise.〔http://classics.mit.edu/Plutarch/lycurgus.html ''Plutarch, the Life of Lygurgus''〕 * 393 AD: Students in ancient Greece exercised and received instruction naked and athletes competed naked. This tradition ended in 393 AD, when the Christian Emperor Theodosius I bans the Olympic Games because he considers them Pagan.〔Robinson, B. A. (Nudism and Naturism, Introduction, history, glossary of terms ). Ontario Consultants on Religious Tolerance (2001-11-26). Retrieved 2008-09-09.〕 * 1st century AD: Historian Diodorus Siculus records that the Celts commonly fought naked in battle. Nudity is mentioned several times in the New Testament, although none of the examples give it the sexual meaning it carries today. For example, refusal to wear clothes could be a sign of insanity during this period. Nakedness was also used as a symbol of poverty or vulnerability () (). There are a few New Testament references to actual nudity, such as () in which a young man runs away naked from the Garden of Gethsemane, and () where Peter is described as naked while he is fishing. Some say that the term means semi-naked, arguing that it is unlikely that a Jewish person would go completely unclothed in public, although others argue that fishermen in the Sea of Galilee did actually work naked (). * 100 AD to 18th century - the Adamites, were adherents of an Early Christian sect that flourished in North Africa in the 2nd, 3rd and 4th centuries, but knew later revivals. They practiced "holy nudism", claiming that its members were re-established in Adam and Eve's state of original innocence. * 201 - 1500 AD: The first known liturgy of baptism, recorded by Saint Hippolytus of Rome in the early 3rd century, insists on complete nudity for all participants, even down to the removal of jewellery and hair fastenings (). Baptism was later segregated by sex, as indicated by a scene depicted on a 5th-century lead font (), but still conducted on an unclothed participant. Christian groups, including the Adamites, Carpocrations, Aquarii, and Marcosians all practiced social nudity.〔 * Cica 1050 AD: Leofric, Earl of Mercia, imposed a heavy tax burden on the citizens of Coventry, England, to support his grandiose public works. According to legend, his wife Godgyfu begged him to reduce the tax, and he told her that she had to ride naked through the city's market before he would do it. Godgyfu, remembered as Lady Godiva, accepted the challenge. * In Kamakura era (1185–1333) Japan, religious bathing was provided to the public free of charge, with no concept of gender segregation. After the collapse of free services, a for-pay system emerged which later evolved to become the modern day sentō. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Timeline of non-sexual social nudity」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
