Somehow as a society we always circle back and create Spartans.

Random but one of my favourite historical fun facts is that the Romans loved the Spartans so much that aristocratic Roman families would send their children to Sparta to learn their ways purely for educational and recreational purposes, not for any practical reasons. Sparta and the Spartans at ine point in Roman history was essentially a living museum and tourist attraction.

Spartans had slaves and beat their kids so it was probably not the greatest summer camp experience

Hello Muddah, hello Faddah.

Here I am at Camp Granada Romana.

Camp is very entertaining.

And they say we'll have some fun if it stops raining they stop the beating
