Both were independent city-states with a form of democratic government, Sparta limited, Athens radical. Both had strict limits and obligations of citizenship. And required citizens to serve in their armed forces. And both had empires - Sparta over the southern Peloponnesian peninsula where they had reduced the peoples to serfdom; Athens created and empire out of the city-states it had led against Persia.
