From the collection of a Surrey gentleman; acquired 1970-1980.Before the introduction of fat-based soaps in the late Empire, the usual method of cleansing by athletes, as well as bathers of both sexes, was a mixture of low grade olive oil, and a pumice. The oil was applied to the body and then scraped off by means of the long, scoop-like scraper, known as a strigil. A common form of public benefaction was money for a free distribution of such oil.
