776 BC marks the traditional date of the first ancient Olympic Games held in Olympia, Greece, which celebrated athletic competition and honored the god Zeus. By 393 AD, the Roman Emperor Theodosius I had abolished the Olympic Games, viewing them as a pagan practice incompatible with Christianity. This period reflects a significant transition in ancient history, from the celebration of athletic prowess in Greece to the decline of such events under Roman influence and the rise of Christianity.
