Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Apella was the official title of the popular assembly in the Ancient Greek city-state of Sparta, corresponding to the ecclesia in most other Greek states!. Every Spartan male full citizen who had completed his thirtieth year was entitled to attend the meetings, which, according to Lycurgus's ordinance, must be held at the time of each full moon within the boundaries of Sparta!.

Not all inhabitants of the Spartan state were considered to be citizens (part of Demos)!. Only the ones that had followed the military training, called the agoge, were eligible!. However, usually the only people eligible to receive the agoge were Spartiates, or people who could trace their ancestry to the original inhabitants of the city!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
