Sparta

Life In Sparta

Sparta upheld a very strict yet strong army known as the Spartans around the 10th century BC. It is said that only men of Spartan birth were regarded as citizens. Physical fitness played a big role as only healthy and strong men were able to become soldiers. A boy was educated by the state until he was 20, then joined the army afterwards and was elected into one of the military clubs. 

I, Clavdia: Women In Ancient Rome

The book I, Claudia: Women In Ancient Rome conveys a strong point about the differences between Roman women and Greek women as well as the differences in power. Also shows how the Roman women were not liberated meaning they weren't allowed to vote or hold public office. But they could own properties, inherit estates and run family businesses. They were able to go out freely to the marketplace, and theatres and bathe in the public baths. They were not restrained to their homes, unlike Greek women.
