    I'd say Spartans from here:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/300_(film)

    The plot revolves around King Leonidas (Gerard Butler), who leads 300 Spartans into battle against Persian "god-King" Xerxes (Rodrigo Santoro) and his army of more than one million soldiers. As the battle rages, Queen Gorgo (Lena Headey) attempts to rally support in Sparta for her husband. The story is framed by a voice-over narrative by the Spartan soldier Dilios (David Wenham). Through this narrative technique, various fantastical creatures are introduced, placing 300 within the genre of historical fantasy.

    Oops, didn't realise KatieL posted this 7 mins earlier. I did search but before that. I'll send a merge request.
  • I Put SPARTANS but I think it's SPARTA:
    Sparta was unique in ancient Greece for its social system and constitution, which completely focused on military training and excellence

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spartan

    A Spartan is a person from the Greek city Sparta or the ancient Greek city-state of the same name. In the latter context, the term "Spartan" in its most technical sense refers to a member of the Spartiate caste and under some usages also encompasses the class of mothakes, residents of Sparta who were free but did not enjoy full political rights.
    The proper noun "Spartan" can also refer to a member of one of the numerous athletic teams (see below) named after the soldiers of ancient Sparta, especially its renowned hoplite infantry. The adjective "spartan" (see Wiktionary) refers to the frugal and austere nature of the Spartans.

    Therefore, i'd still say the answer is = Spartans (as the question refers to the 'society' and therefore being plural, hence the s on the end).
