But don't forget their bathing process was quite different from ours. Getting wet with water was not the cleansing step, that came from oiling and strigil-ling. So it might not be as important to dry the water off of skin, though maybe hair. Wool makes a poor towel, but linen would work all right, if it were woven thickly enough. Don't know whether they would have used other fibers for cloth towels, though they did have other fibers at their disposal.
