The fortitude of the ancient Spartans allowed them to be victorious!
Spartans did not trade with anyone due to the fact that outsiders were not allowed inside their city-states. Also, insiders were not allowed out.
Slaves were not allowed to be citizens. They were beaten and abused whenever they did something wrong. They generally came from other lands that the Spartans had conquered, and were forced to work for the Spartans.

They worked the land, and rendered half their produce to Sparta, which allowed the Spartans to concentrate on supervising them, defend the territory, and take part in their own society.
Their land was held in common, farmed by the serf population who were the original holders until the Spartans conquered them and took over the countryside. The Spartans didn't want individual land - the serfs did it all, delivering up half their produce, which allowed the Spartan citizens to concentrate on matters military.
Spartans? Huh, Nobody.The Spartans Idol Was Themselves...
The Spartans were a warrior society in ancient Greece known for their military prowess and discipline. They are most famous for their role in the Battle of Thermopylae against the Persians. The term "homo" refers to the Latin word for "man" or "human," but it is not clear what the original question intended to ask in relation to the Spartans.
Spartans were not supposed to have money as Lycurgus (an ancient spartan who basically made all their rules) forebade it as money was the root of all EVIL... 0_0 ...according to him at least. :-P But the slaves(each male Spartan had two personal + number of them at home) were allowed to have money,and did all the buying for Spartans themselves.Also Periokoi were allowed to have money,so money did exist and was in use in Sparta.Only citizens-soldiers were not allowed to have or use any.
The Spartans are Greeks.
Because they were from Sparta.
If the helots defeated the Spartans, the Spartans, being defeated, could not do anything to them.
