How did the Spartan attitude toward wealth affect their trade and travel?
Spartans' attitudes toward wealth affected their trade and travel in a few ways. One way is that they didn't waste their time interesting themselves in culture and the arts, instead, the desire for wealth made the Spartans blood thirsty. So, they would attack other city-states and take as much goods as they could. Another way is that they didn't need to trade when it came to wealth. They would just steal other city-states' money by sneaking in.

All true but i have something beter
Athens or Sparta
If I had to choose which one was better, Athens or Sparta, I would say Athens. I would pick Athens because the Athenian boys and girls were treated better than in Sparta and they also got education, the people in Athens favored people and Athens had an assembly and the council of five hundred.
The children in Athens were treated better than the children in Sparta. I say this because in Sparta if the baby was not healthy, they were not allowed to live or had to be a slave. In Athens, the boys went to school from the age of 6 to 14. They either went to a private or a primary school. They learned the poems by Homer and were taught how to play a lyre. They always had a man teacher. After that, they went to a higher school for 4 years and after they turned 18, they had to go to a military school for 2 more years. When they were 20 years old, they graduated. I wouldn't call myself too sporty, because I like some sports. Sparta is mostly all about things like military and sports. Me personally I would like to be educated, instead of having more freedom. It would be better to have both, but in the end I would still like to be more educated. The girls couldn't go to school but they still were taught to read and write at home.
Athens favored people. Unlike Sparta, either a king or an oligarchy did not rule Athens. They had their own constitution and their own government. The Athenians were also the first ones who had the democratic constitution. A noble named Cleisthenes wrote this constitution. It was the first constitution ever written.
There were also these two groups in Athens. One of them was the Assembly and the other one was called The Council of 5 Hundred. The Assembly was open to all men over 20 years old. The Assembly chose 10 generals to run the military and to serve as a judge. One of the chief was called the commander in chief. The council on the other hand was a group with 500 members. They chose the members in an easy lottery way because the people in Athens thought that they were all smart enough to hold an office. And also the rich Athenians had a chance to win over the poor Athenians.
My opinion is that Athens is better than Sparta, because the Athenian children got education and were treated better than the Spartan children, the Athens favored people and they had the assembly and the Council of 5 Hundred. Hope this helped.

The role of Spartan women in Ancient Sparta was to produce strong and healthy children who in turn could become mighty warriors. The Spartans believed that if the woman was strong, healthy and phyisically fit, any children she produced would also be strong, healthy and fit. Therefore, Spartan women participated in sports, such as gymnastics, wrestling and foot and horse races, to make sure they were fit enough to produce strong babies.

How Plato's Republic similar to and different from the government of Sparta?
Oh God, where do I even begin?!
Sparta has two kings which is based predominantly on heritage. Everyone is more or less politically equal in Sparta (The actual Spartans, at least. The 'non-spartans' or 'Helots', had no rights and were basically there at the leisure of their spartan masters, but it was effectively communist-esque provided you were a spartan)
Whereas Plato's Republic is a lot more like a meritocracy; someone is intellectual and loves learning therefore they should rule because they are lovers of truth and knowledge (this is the literal meaning of philosopher: 'philo' coming from the word 'to love' and 'soph' coming from the word for knowledge)
There's more but really you should simply read up on the two subjects to get a good understanding.
