No, the Olympic games were developed by the earlier Greek civilisation and had died out before the Roman Empire developed.

The Olympic games were "revived" much later in the time of the British Empire (by the English).

By definition, the Romans would have invented their sports; otherwise, the other sports from two thousand years ago (played in Grecian, Persian, and Native American cultures) were products of their own societies.

No. Ancient Greece was the home of the Olympics. Rome did finally host the Olympic Games in 1960.

No-one one knows exactly how the Olympics was started. All we know is that they were dedicated to the ancient greek god, Zeus.
