The latin text on the towermap,

Like the title says. There is a latin text on the left corner on the towermap. Can someone translate? "ATRVUM PROPVGNATORVM Juvenes erant sparte muros el hastis fines eius" [b]Edit: "Court (or hall) of champions (or Guardians) The young men were the walls of Sparta Thier spears Its border"[/b]
English

      [quote] ATRVUM PROPVGNATORVM[/quote] This loosely translates into "Hall of Guardians." Also you spelt it wrong I think.

      • The young men were the walls of Sparta Their spears its border This is what I take it to be a reference to. The agōgē was the rigorous education and training regimen mandated for all male Spartan citizens The aim of the system was to produce physically and morally strong males to serve in the Spartan army. It encouraged conformity and the importance of the Spartan state over one's personal interest and generated the future elites of Sparta.The men would become the "walls of Sparta" because Sparta was the only Greek city with no defensive walls

            Court of Champions The young men were the walls of Sparta Their spears its border That's as much as I could clean it up, anyway. I did notice the capitalized portion was misspelled compared to [url=http://i.imgur.com/VOwxfWQ.jpg]this[/url] screenshot from the alpha.

              Edit: ugh, nevermind. Was trying to link to google's translation of it but it didn't work even though I tested it :/ It said something about young men and walls.
