Full Spartan citizens (Spartiates) formed the voting citizenry. Perioici (those living about) were landowners and entitled to be warriors but had no vote. Helots were serfs - the original population allotted to each Spartiate to work their land. Seven were taken with each Spartan warrior on campaign - first to strip the country of a potential uprising in the absence of the army, secondly to use as servants, and thirdly to act as light infantry using javelins, bows and rocks.
