The
Ancient Olympic Games were held for almost 1200 years until
393 A.D. when Roman Emperor Theodosius I banned all pagan
festivals. He asserted that the Games placed an excessive
public focus on athletic and spiritual affairs and abolished
them. However, the Games were revived in 1894 in modern form
and the first Olympic Games were held in 1896.
