Their heads are protected with Corinthian helmets. They are also equipped with spears and protective shields. The warrior in the foreground holds his spear upright in his hand and his shield in front of his chest. His upper body is free and unprotected. The warrior to his left also covers his body with a protective shield. However, he points his spear at the enemy, signaling his willingness to fight. Spartans are prepared from childhood for a life of violence and war. The policies and training were designed to turn little boys into real warriors. This training in question, which a boy had to undergo in Sparta, was called agoge. The training, so to speak, already took place at birth. After birth, a male baby was examined and an assessment was made to determine whether the baby was strong enough to grow into a warrior.If this was not the case, the baby was simply abandoned and left to fend for itself. At the age of just seven, the boys had to leave their parents’ home and begin rigorous training. The boys were prepared for extreme pain during training. The aim was also to make the boys more aggressive and ready to fight. At the age of 18 came the absolute test. The warriors were taken into enemy territory completely naked. Their task was to return to Sparta unscathed. However, the training was only completed at the age of 20. ✔ The position of the woman A woman is depicted on the right side of the motif. Her long hair is tied in a braid. Women did not fight in Sparta. Their job was to give birth to warriors. Nevertheless, they also had to complete training. They were taught reading and writing as well as various sports such as athletics and gymnastics. They had more rights and freedoms than the women in Athens. ✔ Information at a glance The manufacturer is B.H. Mayer. The denomination is 1 ounce. The year of issue is 2023.
