I like how your sub box is full of science and political videos but your recommendations are full of anime girls kissing each other.

Just Zoid being Zoid ^_^

Romans didn't have Spartans.

I believe you are thinking of Roman Legionaries or Greek Spartans.

You look around.You fire your weapon before you realize.
Its just me. I fall and you walk up. You cry why.
When i pop up. You look at me in wonder. I say,"ASSUMING DIRECT CONTROL."
You bend to my will and go to a cliff, walk off, and fall.
The last thing you hear is me stating as fact,"All will fail the battle of life, you just went early"

This is a tough one. Spartans were the best soldiers of their time, but this does not necessarily mean that they are great in single-combat. Gladiators are solo most of the time.

I admit that my knowledge here is very limited, but I'm going to give it to the Spartans.

I write poetry, I write short-stories, I listen to hip-hop (80s&90s), Reggae, Classic Rock n Roll, Heavy Metal, Jazz, Blues, and the 60s, 70s.

Spartans were the citizens and soldiers of Sparta, which was in Greece.

I'm not so good with advice...Can I interest you in a sarcastic comment?

Seeing as they are both professional warriors, it should be an even fight. However, the Spartans work almost exclusively in formation with other spartans, whereas Galdiators are trained in one on one fights. Im going to give it to the gladiator.

Spartans are not Roman.

You're probably thinking of the phalanx which was a formation used by both Spartan hoplites and Roman legions.

Spartans were the citizens and soldiers of Sparta, which was in Greece.

Romans were Greeks by the times of Justinian.

They spoke Greek, followed Greek fashion, practiced Greek Art, and the focus of their empire was in Greece (which included Anatolia back then)

Greeks called themselves Romans well into the 18th century, and most nationalists didn't want a free Greece, but rather a free Rome (Greece).

It was never specified from which time these Spartans are from, they might be Romans.

When is that "time"?

Sparta emerged in the 10th Century B.C. what time are you speaking of?

Please stop complaining about the 'death of a loved one' it's my job. They probably deserved it anyways. Here's a warning, if you keep making pentagrams out of the neighbors livestock I will personally come to your house and kill everyone you love. Now leave me alone, I got to get back to work.

Ok, I guess I got confused with gladiator....But who do you think will win? Forget my mistake.


No problem. And I posted my thoughts in an earlier post.

Also: I did a short amount of research, and I did not find anything that said Spartan warriors were ever Roman.
