I4I in the following century. Meantime, the number of com- moners and slaves remained about the same in Laconia proper, from which its province of Messenia was liberated in the time of Epaminondas, after having been subject to Sparta for three centuries. Of the domestic history of Sparta we know very little. From the time when the political institutions of Lycurgus were adopted, about the middle of the IXth till the Ilird century, b. c, the constitution was preserved without not- able change. D...uring the last two centuries of its exist- ence, it was greatly hampered by the influence of the Macedonian empire, but it continued to control the inter- nal affairs of the country. The greatest disasters led to no revolution. One of the nearest approaches to a change in the constitution was the adoption by the assembly of a resolution that the nobles who had retreated from the field of Leuctra, should not be dishonored or disfranchised. That such a resolution should be necessary to save the credit of an army which had fought with desperate cour- age and owed its defeat entirely to the superior general- ship of Epaminondas, is one of the best evidences of the unequaled martial spirit of the Spartans.
