Who was allowed to participate in Ancient Roman Olympic Games?

Answer 1

Men were allowed to enter the Olympics but, young boys were also allowed, this was not determined by age but if the boy was bearded or not so their was no cheating.

Women were also allowed in the case that they owned a horse that was being used; as long as it was a man. Other than that it was strictly boys and men.

There were no ancient Roman Olympics, there were the Gladiatorial sports and funeral games but no Olympics. The ancient Greeks held the Olympics which was called the Olympiad. Next time please check your facts before you spout random nonsense.

Answer 2

Not the early Olympics. They were just a small city state strugging to survive in a 50 sqmile patch of dirt. And to compete in the Olympics you had to be Greek. It was a religious festivel, and a conclave representing the original twelve Greek tribes decided the how, what and who of the festival games. Even Macedonian kings had to demonstrate that they had descended from Greek ancestry to get a chariot team in. Centuries later when Roman emperors had the whip hand, Nero eg was allowed to enter (and of course win) the singing competition.

Answer 3

It was actually Greece who invented the Olympics. The name came from the home of the Gods: Mount Olympus. I'm not sure if the first Olympics was held before of after the Romans conqoured Greece. But I do know that women were not allowed to compete, and all competitors had to be naked- I don't know why!
