I had to use a proxy to check the link. Those fuckers at history dot com can't have taxpayers of different governments sharing links, so depending on your IP the article redirects to some front page.

Scientific American has further, overlapping info. It mentions the Roman tersorium, as well some Greek habit to clean it with smoothed fragments of ceramic.
