The military element was the most important mean fro the creation of the new way of thought and life in Sparta. The Sparta of the seventh century was not the same with the future one. It was still a city no different in comparison with the other Greek states. Aristocracy derived by the nobility of the archaic ages and the use of luxury was know in the city of the early even in the early 6^th century! The change happened between the 7^th and 6^th century, when Sparta started to find more importance in its internal matters, and, consequently, to its rules and customs, in addition, it stopped its relationship with the other Greek cities, politically and economically.

The prevention of the precious and valuable metals, as gold and sliver, its fled from art and other spiritual experience stop its cultural development, or can we say, “It seems so”?

All the change in the city to a military society made it a city of hoplites. Sparta entered in a new level of democratic customs, of a world well-balanced and under the rule of the law, which at the same time by the Seven Wise Men was articulated in a more theoretical sense! The rest of the Greek cities, today more known as “democratic”, because they didn’t have the notion of the Spartan type of political experience, witnessed revolts and destructions!
