Summer Olympics
Beijing 2008 Olympic Torch
No Roman emperor used people as torches.
The fuel used for the torch has varied. Early torches used solid or liquid fuels, including olive oil. For a particularly bright display, pyrotechnic compounds and even burning metals have been used. Since the Munich Games of 1972, most torches have instead used a liquefied gas such as propylene or a propane/butane mixture.
The first Olympics were NOT in Athens, but in Olympia Greece, hence the name-Olympics. Here there is a temple to honor Hestia, the Goddess of hearth and home. Her hearth is the sacred flame of Greece. It is here that after severl days of feasting and prayer that the flame was lit to honor Zeus. This is where all Olypic torches begin.

Fuels used for the Olympic torchesEarly on, Olympic torches used everything from olive oil to gunpowder as a source of fuel. Some torches were lit with a combination of hexamine and naphthalene along with an igniting liquid. Occasionally, these early-model Olympic torches proved dangerous to the torchbearer. For example, the torch used in the 1956 Games was lit by a mix of magnesium and aluminum, which wound up searing the arms of the torchbearer during the final leg of the Olympic relay. Liquid fuels, which become gaseous to create a flame, were first used to light the torch for the 1972 Summer Games in Munich, and they have been used to ignite every Olympic torch since then. The benefits of liquid fuels include safety and easy storage.
