Isn't it spelt strigil??
And all these years I assumed it was hot bath to open the pores, strigil and oil to clean the pores so oil comes off with sweat. Then a cold plunge perhaps?
It can't have been a disgusting pool of oily scum as I'd doubt the public baths would be so popular! I'd rather smell than end up wearing someone elses scummy left overs
One also assumes it depends on how much oil you use!

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, Merlot in one hand, Cigar in the other; body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming "WOO HOO, what a ride!
