Inhabitant of an ancient militarised city-state (7)

I believe the answer is:

spartan

(Other definitions for spartan that I've seen before include "Old citizen" , "Not comfortable" , "Lacking comfort or luxury" , "Indifferent to luxury" , "Strictly disciplined" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
