Gymnasium

In ancient Greece, athletic sports were held in high esteem. To become them, you had to be a man from 30 to 60 years old, and have a revered status in society.

The gymnasium was elected for a period of 1 year. The main tasks of the gymnasiums were the education and training of young people, the organization and holding of competitions. In order for athletes to look presentable, the gymnasium washed their bodies and lubricated them with special oils. Interestingly, the funds for the maintenance of the gymnasiums were not released, the gymnasiums actually kept them.
