Best Answer

Sparta relied on serfs (not slaves - serfs were people bound to the land). The serfs delivered half of their produce to Sparta, which enabled the Spartans to concentrate on training for war and their normal lives. The serfs were also used a light infantry and archers to support the Spartan armoured infantry.
