Шаблон:Short description A conisterium (or conisterion) (Шаблон:Lang-el) was an apartment in Greek and Roman gymnasiums. It was where sand or dust was stored, for use by wrestlers after they had been anointed with oil.[1] They would either sprinkle it on themselves,[2] or a slave would do it.[1] The purpose of this was so that during a fight, the oil or sweat would not prevent a wrestler from having a good grip on his opponent.[3] After a fight, or exercise, the powder was rubbed off with strigils, before the wrestler had a bath.[4]

The conisterium was built after the coryceum and next to a cold bath[5] called frigida lavatio.[6] Conisteriums were also found in palaestras.[1] In the palaestra of Vitruvius, for instance, the gymnasium chambers were built on the right side while the elaeothesium, tepidarium, and an unidentified chamber on the left.[7]
