Gladiators had oil applied to their bodies before bathing in Ancient Greece and Rome. In these cultures the strigil (a tool for the cleansing of the body by scraping off dirt, perspiration, and adding oil) was primarily used by men, specifically male athletes, the wealthy, soldiers, and more. This practice was commonly done to individuals who were engaging in vigorous activities, in which they accumulated large amounts of dirt and sweat on their bodies. Prestigious individuals often had slaves clean their bodies, rather than doing it themselves.
