• The Spartans favorite weapon is
a spear. When the younger boys
turned 7 they would be able to
train for battles, war and the
olympics. The women in Sparta
could not become a citizen, vote
or hold public office. They could
represent themselves in court
and they were aloud to own their
own home. When a boy turned
seven they would leave home
and start at the military training
in the barracks. The women
wore plain clothing, they cut their
hair short and did not wear any
perfume.
