The Spartan Council of Elders (Gerousia or Senate) was 28 citizens over the age of 60 elected for life by the Assembly of the (male) citizens plus the two kings of Sparta. It controlledthe running of the city-state, and referred important matters to the Assembly of citizens, with a veto over decisions of the Assembly.
