How was he spartan training like?
At age 8 Spartan boys were taken from their mothers to enroll in the agoge, the name for the Spartan training system. The agoge lasted until age 30, when the Spartan became a full soldier. The agoge taught strength, speed, and cunning through vicious and rigorous constant training. Any misconduct resulted in a beating - the offender held onto to bars and was lashed with rods. Throughout all this, the Spartans became men and became bonded closer than brothers to each other. At the end, as a test of manhood, the Spartan was required to sneak out of the agelai, group, and kill a helot, or farmer-slave. If the Spartan was caught, he was beaten viciously, not for killing a helot, but for being caught.
What was the size of Ancient Sparta?
I'm afraid I don't know the exact number, but I do know it was over 4'000 square kilometres in size.
However, if you're looking for the size of Ancient Sparta AFTER it conquered Messenia then it's closer to 8'000 square kilometres.
The whole of the Peloponnese itself was about 21'000 square kilometres so, after conquering Messenia, Sparta became the largest City-State in the Peloponnese; and the rest of Greece. (Athens, and Attica, only covered 2'500 square kilometres).
