Sparta

Full citizen Spartiates were barred by law from trade or manufacture, which consequently rested in the hands of the @Perioikoi. This lucrative monopoly, in a fertile territory with a good harbors, ensured the loyalty of the @perioikoi. Despite the prohibition on menial labor or trade, there is evidence of Spartan sculptors, and Spartans were certainly poets, magistrates, ambassadors, and governors as well as soldiers. Allegedly, Spartans were prohibited from possessing gold and silver coins, and according to legend Spartan currency consisted of iron bars to discourage hoarding. Though the conspicuous display of wealth appears to have been discouraged, this did not preclude the production of very fine decorated bronze, ivory and wooden works of art as well as exquisite jewellery.
