Spartans: A New History chronicles the complete history of ancient Sparta from its origins to the end of antiquity.

• Helps bridge the gap between the common conceptions of Sparta and what specialists believe and dispute about Spartan history
• Applies new techniques, perspectives, and archaeological evidence to the question of what it was to be a Spartan
• Takes into account new specialist scholarship and research published in Greek, which is not readily available elsewhere
• Places Spartan society into its wider Greek context
