Question 10 • World History

Which would not be included in a description of the Spartan military?

Answer
A
Soldiers lived in barracks, not with their families.
B
Women fought alongside men in the army.
C
All men served until they were sixty years old.
D
It had the most powerful army in Greece.

Explanation

Spartan women were not soldiers and did not fight alongside men in the army, so this would not describe the Spartan military. Spartan men trained and lived in military barracks, and citizens served in the army until age sixty. Sparta was also known for having Greece’s strongest land army.
