The Olympic Games were revived in 1896 primarily due to the efforts of Baron Pierre de Coubertin, who aimed to promote international understanding and camaraderie through sports. Inspired by the ancient Greek games, he believed that athletics could foster a sense of unity among nations. The first modern Olympics were held in Athens, Greece, symbolizing a return to the games' historical roots and celebrating human physical achievement. This revival also coincided with the growing interest in physical fitness and education during the late 19th century.

The Romans did not participate in Olympic games at all. The Olympic games were developed by the earlier Greek civilisation and died out before the Roman empire developed. The Olympic games were "revived" much later in the time of the British Empire (by the English).
