Who would win, Spartan or Viking ?

Spartans trained at the age of 7 taken from there families trained ruthlessly and aged 12 there physical education was intensified, discipline became much harsher, and the boys were loaded with extra tasks. The youths had to go barefoot, and were dressed only in a tunic both in summer and in winter.

Vikings ruthless ,vicious and deadly .

Thor or Hercules you decide

Remember that documentary on the Spartans they had a couple years ago? They'd totally win.

As much as I like Vikings, I'm going to say Spartans.

Thor or Hercules you decide

Thor would kick Hercules' ass.

Spartans!

In group warfare, Spartans. One on one I might be inclined to choose the Spartans, but it would be much closer. They both began training as young children, and despite what others may say, they were skilled warriors and intelligent people. They had small colonies all over Europe, Britain, Greenland, and the Americas.

I think that the vikings arguably had better weapons for one on one confrontations. But even though their armour was made of steel, the Spartans were covered head to toe with bronze.

Well to put it into perspective the vikings had ships, arrows, enginuity, spartans had pure soldiery. I am going to go with Vikings because they would just simply raid at night or something that would be a disadvantage to phalanxes. Spartans were overrated, I mean sure there was thermopoly, but the battle afterwards (where there were many more spartans involved), they got owned. Spartans do not have many numbers, they are very unflexible, there is a reason why they died out over time. The intense training and stuff was actually their downfall because it lowered the population significantly, they had tons of slaves to guard over. Keep in mind that Thermopoly was won more because of Athens than it was the 300 spartans. Vikings were not stupid, they made those ships and sailed to Greenland.

I understand it is singular spartan or singular viking, in that case we are talking about berserkers amirite? That is a tough call because those berserkers I tell you were just as bad as the spartans.

Spartans for sure.

Spartan obviously, Spartans are trained to be warriors, Vikings are just Scandinavians apart from the very top people like the king and his body guards they were just farmers who could fight if they needed to.markop2003

They were far from JUST farmers. They were taught to make and use weapons from a very early age, and they spent years learning these skills. They even had their own hand-to-hand combat system. And all viking men were expected to carry weapons.

You can call them warrior farmers if you'd like. :lol:

Spartan

The spectators...Wait, maybe not since their heads would explode from the sheer awesomeness of the battle.

I'm of Nordic descent so I'll say Vikings :D

But honestly I have limited knowledge of both so I can't really make a educated guess.

The Vikings wouldn't fight the Spartans, but would instead settle down and make sex with the Spartan women, who were said to be the most beautiful of any of the Greek cities.fidosim

Spartan easily.
