The Spartan Military were highly trained career soldiers who were free men. The actions of the Spartan Military were important as they demonstrated that training, skill, physical fitness and mental fitness makes a superior soldier. The events at Thermopylae led by King Leonidas were important because the state owned the slaves and their were more slaves than people so they fear that the slave s will become powerful and take them over. They were always taught to never give up.

∙ 9y agoIn ancient times, it was not so much the fighting techniques of the Spartans that proved so effective when Sparta went to war; rather, it was the remarkable training, courage, and physical state of the Spartans themselves. From birth, Spartan males were trained for battle, were conditioned to ignore suffering, were inspired to stand fast against the enemy and never to let their battle-mates down. These qualities made Spartan armies nearly invincible in ordinary battle-conditions.

Why were the Roman Army so successful for there training?
They were highly disciplined, with intelligent and effective commanders, were issued good quality equipment, and were well trained in the use of their equipment and effective combat formations and manoeuvres. The Romans also made a point of learning as much as they could about their enemies prior to engaging them in combat so they could take advantages of the enemies weaknesses and take contingencies against their strengths.Of course this was not always the case, most of the major defeats of the Roman army can be traced to failures of one or more of these factors.

Did the roman empire ever take over Sparta?
"LaconiaYes, I'm guessing your thinking is: "The Spartans were so awesome, they'd have fought off the Romans!". Well, sorry to say, shortly after their glory days in 480BC, Sparta oppressed Thebes one time too many, and they attacked, bringing Sparta to her knees. Sparta lost her rank as a major player in world affairs at that time and by the time the Romans conquered Achaea, it was definitely within Rome's strength to do so" But still to clarify, nobody ever 'took' or 'took over' Sparta. The Roman's reffered to the Spartan's as their 'Cousins' as they had great respect for them and their military accomplishments. Instead the Roman's used the remaining Spartan's to train them and to battle for Rome on missions to rid Rome of any remaining enemies.As for Phillip II and Alexander of Macedonia, neither set foot in Sparta. The story goes, after refusal of entry to Sparta yet the remainder of Greece allowed Phillip in, Phillip sent the Spartan's a letter claiming that 'If I marched my army down the Sparta, it would flatten Sparta to the ground.' The Laconic wit of the Spartan's simply replied, 'IF'! As to say, Phillip never did and nor did Alexander. After Alexander's accomplishments he returned many gifts to Greece with the exception of the Spartan's, as they stood to defy them.Sparta simply could not re-populate its army after a crushing defeat to the Thebans led by Epaminondas at the Battle of Leuctra. And so simply slipped away into the history books, and there's not a lot about them as they were warriors not historians.
