The End of Greek Athletics in Late Antiquity - Greek Culture in the Roman World
Remijsen, Sofie (Universitat Mannheim, Germany)
The demise of the ancient Olympics has commonly been blamed on a ban imposed by the Christian emperor Theodosius I. Sofie Remijsen challenges this conventional view, and traces instead the collapse of the entire professional circuit of Greek athletics under the pressure of changing institutions and perceptions in late antiquity.
