The Romans learned of soap from the celts, and at least the Finnish sub-branch of the Viking culture was married to their saunas. So I think the orlanthi like to keep themselves clean when they can.
Those yelmic types propably don't know about soap, and use olive oil to clean themselves... And somehow strong parfumes and colones seem to fit the Empire, so why should they bathe that often. What kind of a Yelmic person takes a bath anyway??
