They can't do sieges, so you just keep everything valuable behind walls. The same works against vikings, too.

Bribe them, raid them to keep them weak, turn them against each other. If all else fails, just genocide them.

The earliest cuirasses in the world, dating around 1300-1100 bc, are found in Hungary, Slovakia and slightly later the Padana plain and France, fuck, so much for the barbarians, they had fucking bronze cuirasses before anyone else!
Not only the early Greeks adopted Central European swords they also adopted their armors!

Take japanese samurais for example
>Its legendary founder isKūkai, also known as Kōbō Daishi, the founder of theShingonschool ofBuddhism, who is said to have brought the teachings of male love over from China, together with the teachings of theBuddha. Monks often entered into love relationships with beautiful youths known aschigo(稚児), which were recorded in literary works known aschigo monogatari(稚児物語).[

Because there used to be a distinction between someone who had sex with other "men" (typically young boys) and actual homosexuals.
>>
>>3164504
And what distinction what that be?
>>
Lack of contact with women. When women are hidden away and not allowed to substantial contact with men then men begin to look elsewhere to sate their needs.
Example: Athens, Islamic societies, pre-Song China, Feudal Japan. All kept women locked away from male contact.
Compare Sparta, Golden Age Islam, Song China, modern Japan, Pagan Germanic tribes. All have women in close contact with men regularly and all have less occurrence of homosexual behavior than the other societies.

What was Britain doing in the war until 21. June 1941?
What were they trying to achieve?
Let's say, Hitler wouldn't have attacked the Soviers on 22. June 1941- how long would these two enemy camps had stared at each other across the channel before peace talks?
Again, what were the Brits trying to achieve on their own?

They were trying to drag the US into the war.

1. Appealing to the US for material (and eventually military) support.
2. Preventing Britain from being isolated or invaded by Germany.
3. Fighting for control of North Africa and the Middle East.

Did Sparta really treat helots and slaves extremely cruelly, even by the standards of its day, or was that just enemy propaganda?

Only when they were forced to.
>>
>>3163613
IT WAS ENEMY PROPAGANDA —MOSTLY BY THE ATHENIANS.
THE HELOTS WERE NOT SLAVES; THEY WERE A RACIOLABOURAL CASTE; SPARTAN SOCIETY WAS CONSTITUTED BY THREE DIFFERENT CASTES: HELOTS (FARMERS, AND WORKERS IN GENERAL), PERIOIKOI (MERCHANTS, AND ARTISANS), SPARTIATES (SPARTAN CITIZENS).
>>
>>3163613
If you want to know how others treated conquered populations, look at Melos and what the Athenians did to its inhabitants.
It was the norm of the era to kill all men and sold all women and children into chattel slavery. The fact that Spartans left the Helots alone as a subordinate caste was by the standards of the day an extremely lenient treatment.

You (mostly) have free will to reject the strings of fate as far as I can tell - but at great risk to your soul.
"You search the scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; and it is they that testify on my behalf. Yet you refuse to come to me to have life." - John 5:39-40

Who would've won in combat? The Roman Empire at its height in 117 A.D. or Han China at its height (Couldn't really find a date.)
Ignoring the vast distances between the two and let's say they were dropped right next to one another.
