Ancient Greece - Peloponnesian War

The Gymnasium in Sparta was an important public space for physical training, where young men, including those in the Agoge system, would exercise and hone their physical prowess. The Gymnasium was not only a place for athletic training but also for intellectual education, where Spartan youths were taught philosophy and other subjects that prepared them for their roles as citizens and warriors.
