Athens and Sparta

• Athens and Sparta were two large Greek city-states.

• Both Athens and Sparta became large and powerful because they were centers of trade.

The “agora” was an open space used for business and public activities. Trade once bustled in this agora in Athens. All that is left today are ruins.
