Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:
Read the excerpt from The Ancient City.
After exercising, the boys went to the bath house to clean up. Each boy had a strigil, a metal scraper to remove the oil and dust, and also a sponge to wash down. No gymnasium has been fully excavated in Athens. There is a round bath house outside the Dipylon Gate. A similar bath house forms part of the gymnasium at Eretria on the island of Euboea. These were furnished with hip baths. They had no integral heating system and relied on braziers for heat.
