In 146 AD when almost all of Greece was under the control of Rome (Roman Empire), the Olympic games started to diminish, though they did go on and were enjoyed by those who attended them. But in 394 AD (Anno Domini), under orders from Emperor Theodosius 1, these were abolished as it was forbidden to worship idols. The Games were revived after almost 1500 years.
