The ancient era Olympics were held from 776BC to 396BC. At that time, only free men who spoke Greek could compete. Nations or city-states who were at war competed under peace treaties that lasted for the length of the Games. It would have been unheard of women to compete than, since women were entrusted with the worship of the household Gods, a task far more important than sport. Back then women did not do those sorts of things. They were expected to be take care of their children if they were mothers, sew, cook, and clean. Actually, they weren't even allowed to watch the Olympics. Today it would be called sexism, but back then sports were just not something that women did. The Modern Era Olympics began in 1896, and women began competing officially in 1900 and became virtually even with the men by 1936.
Women were thought under men. In some parts of Greece women were respected, but the majority not so much. Women were expected to clean and cook, while the men went out. Consider the modern Gypsy society. It was much like that.

If you mean the ancient Olympic games in Rome or Italy where ever it was then it is because they would compete naked to make sure they weren't a girl( because back then girls weren't allowed to compete in Olympic games) and it was also in the same place unlike nowadays.
