So many people romantisize the Roman empire but in reality that was after it really went to shit for most people.

It's the same for Sparta. 95% of its people were slaves and 5% were buff warrior dudes. People then idolize the 5% buff warrior dudes because of that movie "300", and completely ignore that Sparta was a hellhole for most of the people that lived there.
