So I think they wiped with moss-on-a-stick which is cool but I also think they had communal moss-on-a-stick which really is most heinously uncool and not cash money at all :(
They had communal sponge on a stick they washed the sponges between use. There was a restroom attendant whose job it was to do that.

Another fun fact a gladiator killed himself with one of these by shoving it down its throat until he died
I feel like there are easier ways for a gladiator to kill himself.
