Call For Papers on behalf of Robert Montgomerie, Sparta's Managing Editor,
Nottingham, UK.

"For the next issue of Sparta we would like to call for papers directed at
two very different periods of Spartan history. The first is the time of the
early Messenian Wars and the foundation of the Spartan constitution by
Lycurgus, that mysterious figure who the oracle puzzled over: I know not
whether to declare you human or divine - Yet I incline to believe, Lycurgus,
that you are a god. (Herodotus I.65)

The second period covers Sparta's dealings with the Romans and the eventual
formation of the Roman province of Macedonia, from where Achaea was
controlled. In addition papers might consider later views of Sparta held by
the Romans and other peoples after c200BC."

Deadline: December, 29, 2008
Forthcoming Issue: Volume 4 no. 1 (25th July, 2008)
Max. number of words: 3,000 - bibliography is required
