Their citizen population, and hence its army size, was limited to the productivity of the Spartan warrior class. With a succession of wars over two centuries, the war loses exceeded the male birth rate, and so Sparta's army shrank. After the Spartan defeats at Tegyra 375 BCE and Leuctra 371 BCE, Sparta could no longer field a credible army, became entirely defensive and sank into obscurity.

Sparta's biggest weakness was the fact that their warriors fought nude. When the soldiers held the long, big spears next to their wangs they felt rather intimidated. Also some gay soldiers would be distracted in the battle as they would always find themselves looking at the other soldiers nakedness.
