BALNEARII SERVI, in Antiquity, servants or attendants belonging to the baths. Some were appointed to heat them, called fornicatores; others were denominated capsarii, who kept the clothes of those that went into them; others alipae, whose care it was to pull off the hair; others unctuarii, who anointed and perfumed the body.
