I believe the answer is:

sparta

(Other definitions for sparta that I've seen before include "Ancient Greek city synonymous with austerity" , "found in Ancient Greek location" , "in ancient Greece" , "Ancient Greek city, capital of Laconia" , "austere place" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times.
