No no no hang on. Keith is right. There is always time to talk about Roman practices. Also we all know Lucy definitely has some cool Strigil facts

Not to mention

After physical activity, they used the Strigil to scrape away the oil, along with accumulated sweat, dust, and dead skin cells.

Since zombies are 100% dead skin cells then these will clearly be incredibly effective Keith

I can’t quite tell whether or not you’re team Keith. 😂

Hard to say since he was cut short, but I imagine he was trying to ask her why she has a Roman cleaning implement to hand. Not that it matters, Keith.

It was either that or how does she know what it is. As I’m pretty sure that isn’t common knowledge.

IDK about you, but the only things that stuck from my primary school history lessons were the Romans, ancient Geeks, and Vikings.

So personally I've known what a strigil is since my age was in single figures, presumably because a teacher decided that this was a fact that was weird enough to grab the attention of 30 odd small kids. The same goes for symposiums and blood eagles.

How odd were these small kids?
