Ave,
Thanks all, for the responses,while few, very pertinent. I think that last one was on target. There are a lot of common things from the Roman World that have survived in to our time with little change, others have disappeared. Others like the common everyday "towel" have a different nomen. OBTW, the german word for towel is Tuch, but that word can also be used to describe as any piece of cloth , for cleaning, polishing etc. So maybe more like an ancient usage.
Will have to file this one away , next time there is a question to use this response " as of course the Romans used drying cloths after bathing" Sort of puts everything into context.
