Learn how to raise a Spartan Army for war! We begin by looking at the reasons why Sparta might go to war in the first place. This can best be understood according to two main time periods of Spartan history, the Archaic and the Classical periods. Each of these methods would have different triggers for conflict. We then discuss the process by which a war was declared. This involved the internal politics in Sparta, discussions within the Peloponnesian league, seeking approval from the gods, and so on. Finally, once a war had been declared, it was time to summon the Spartan army.

In this 3D history documentary we bring to life the True Size of a Spartan Army to unlock the secrets of its strength. The documentary begins with a summary of the basic soldiers which made up the Spartan Army. We then review the organizational hierarchy of the Spartan Army from the 36 man Enomotia to the Morai. We then simulate the Spartan Army in camp, on the march, and in battle order.
