Explanation:
he Ancient Olympics had lots of rules and regulations such as..
. Women were not allowed to compete.
. Only free men (not slaves), that could speak Greek were allowed to compete.
Once you enter you cannot leave the Olympics.
No one can start earlier and other competitors; if they do they would get beaten or disqualified.
In general if people disobeyed the Olympic rules then they would have to pay a fine and the money would help build statues of Zeus or they’d get whipped.
If married women were found watching the Olympics, they would be thrown off Mountain Typaion, Pausanias record.
Wrestlers were not allowed to use oil because it would protect their skin from dirt and sun light. For example, if someone grabbed an opponent’s arm with oil on it, it would be hard for the wrestler to hold on, therefore it is an advantage to the opponent and harder for the wrestler to grab on
Answer:
In A.D. 394 the Roman emperor Theodosius I, a Christian who considered the Games a pagan festival, ordered them stopped.
Olympia then began to crumble. The great statue of Zeus was taken away to Constantinople, where it was destroyed in a fire. In 426, Roman emperor Theodosius II ordered all the temples destroyed.
