If you are referring to a shower in the bathroom, it goes back to the time of the Greeks and Egyptians, as evidenced by vase and murals. It would take some time until the general spread of showering occurred. A first step toward the spread of showering was when the Prussian military installed showering rooms in their barracks in 1879.

The simple bathrooms of ancient India, Egypt and Mesopotamia were all rudimentary showers. They did not contain baths, and people washed by pouring water over themselves or having it administered by a servant standing behind a low wall.
But the first real showers, with plumbed-in water, were invented by the ancient Greeks. After exerting themselves in the stadium, ancient Greek athletes would freshen up in the kind of shower depicted on an Athenian vase of the fourth century B.C. Two shower rooms are shown, occupied by four rather muscular young ladies. Piped-in water sprays down on the bathers through showerheads shaped like the faces of boars and lions. Near the top is a rack or pole over which the girls have draped their garments and towels. The whole scene is amazingly contemporary: apart from the animal showerheads, it would not be out of place in a modern gym.
The remains of a whole complex of shower-baths were excavated in a gymnasium at Pergamum, a rich Greek metropolis in Western Turkey. The last phase of its construction dates to the early second century B.C., at which time seven bathing units were in use. Water ran from an overhead mains system onto the bathers and then flowed from one bath to another, running from the last one into a drain. Thus the system, like a modern shower, provided a footbath as well.

According to Pliny NH 9. 168 one Sergius Orata invented the shower-bath. His dates are fl. 90 BC. Pliny says he made money from this invention, and from selling country houses fitted out with shower-baths.
At baths in Pompeii and Herculaneum flattened nozzles emerging from the walls are interpreted as shower heads. They would certainly produce a jet of water.

The ancient Mesopotamians invented soap, and also invented the irrigation system (toilets). Mesopotamians were known for going to modern spas and treating themselves to facials.
