There were stages in becoming an adult in Sparta.
Spartan boys were allowed to join the army reserve at age 18.
They left childhood education and were voted into public messes at age 20; those who did not get into one of the public messes could not become citizens.
If they qualified, they became full citizens at age 30.
Both boys and girls were raised by women until the age of seven At 7 boys were taken from their mothers and grouped together in "packs" and were sent to what is almost equivalent to present-day military boot camp. At age 20, they became a soldier in the Spartan Army.
Drummer boys normally were 7 or 8.
The Spartan men were takin from there mothers at the age of 7 to start training for the Army. When they were 30 they were able to come home to there family but if they were told they need to serve they had to. When they became 60 years of age they retired from the Army if they made it to that age.
Haha really depends. I would say a spartan but a gladiator has better equipment. Spartans were harshly trained since the age of 7 and the gladiators were either POW or volunteers. You would have to go back in history and put two together and minus one.
When a baby boy was born to Spartan parents the father would take the baby to a council of elders, who would look over the child for any birth defects. If the council found the baby to be in quality condition to become a Spartan the baby was given back to his parents for six more years. At age seven the boy would be taken from his home and placed into a military training facility. At age twelve the boy would be removed from the military training facility and given nothing for one year, forcing him to learn how to survive on basic human instinct. From the ages of thirteen to twenty, when the Spartan would begin fighting, the child would play serious war "games" in preparation for the battles he would encounter in his future.
