Legionaries V.S Spartans

[Ghostmojo]

Perhaps as a closing thought it is worth remembering that the Spartans never remotely considered having Roman troops in their armies. Most Lakedaimonians had probably never heard of the Latin tribe and its seven hills.

Later - much, much later - some Roman emperor/general wanted to have a Spartan (and Makedonian) regiment in his army. He sort of liked collecting notable historic units I suppose.
