The Dromos of Sparta, a prominent city-state in ancient Greece on the banks of the Eurotas River in Laconia, in south-eastern Peloponnese. Around 650 BC, it rose to become the dominant military land-power in ancient Greece. The 5th century BCE Dromos, racecourse and gymnasia was a course for foot races where young Spartans were integrated into the city by offering sacrifices at the statue of Herakles when they reached adulthood.
