Ancient city state (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sparta

(Other definitions for sparta that I've seen before include "found in Ancient Greek location" , "Ancient Greek city whose citizens were noted for hardiness" , "Formerly "City" , "Ancient Greek city where great self-denial was practised" , "Ancient kingdom renowned for asceticism" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror and The Sun.
