Sparta was a city in the ancient Greek state of Lakedaimon, the only state in Greece to have a full-time army. Nick Sekunda examines this ancient military machine, describing the organizational system of the Spartan army, the battles they fought and the society that produced them.
Although Sparta''s early history is not clear, by the end of the 8th century most of the other cities of Lakedaimon had been reduced to subject status. The Lakedaimonians were the only full time army in ancient Greece and were thus truly an elite force. The institutions of the state and the system of education were organised with a view to creating superbly trained soldiers. Nick Sekunda examines this unique military machine in this book describing the organisational systems of the Spartan army through the Hellenistic period, how they were trained, the battles they fought, and the society that produced them.
