No, Sparta was not the most populated city-state in Greece around 400 B.C. While it was a powerful military state, its population was relatively small compared to other city-states like Athens. The Spartan society was characterized by a strict social structure and a focus on military training, which limited its population growth, particularly in the free citizen class.
