SPARTANS!

SPARTAN LIFE STILE

Spartan women looked after the family farm whilst her husband was training or maybe even fighting.

Men

Spartans thought that all men should marry and have babies. Any adult men not yet married had to go naked through the town once a year.

Every day

Money

The Spartans didn’t use coins like the other Greeks they used iron bars instead.

The Spartans weren’t interested in business and getting rich , they were interested in being fit and tough.

campIn camp , soldiers didn’t bother

digging toilet trenches solders were told to go far away from their friends!

Spartans practised night fighting by creeping around in the dark hunting down helots (slaves),

Solider

Spartans were proud of their hair. They combed it before battle.

Spartans wore red cloaks in battle so blood stains from wounds wouldn’t show.

Town

Unlike other Greek states for years Sparta had no defence walls Sparta relied on it surroundings and army to keep away enemies.
