When were the last ancient Olympics held?
Updated: 2006-03-21 16:42 The last ancient Olympics
were held in 393 a.d. Shortly after the games were banned by the Byzantine
Emperor Theodosios I on account of the carnival-like atmosphere which had come
to surround them. Theodosios II ordered the destruction of the temples, so you
won't see much more than a pile of rubble where they stood.
