摘　　要：我国学界通常认为,古代奥林匹克运动会是被狄奥多西一世下令废除的。意大利学界就此问题也展开过长期的论战,核心点即是否存在着一个专门以废除奥运会为目的的法律。对《狄奥多西法典》的考察证明,罗马帝国后期的基督教皇帝们并未直接颁布过以专门废除奥运会为目的的敕令。奥运会并非是被废除的,而是经历了一个漫长的消亡过程。从公元394年9月狄奥多西一世全面镇压异教的敕令适用于罗马帝国全境开始,古代奥运会便走上了其消亡之旅。而到公元453年11月狄奥多西二世颁布对异教镇压的最终敕令后,古代奥运会将不再有任何存在的可能性。It is generally believed in China that ancient Olympics were abolished by a law under the rule of Theodosia the Grand. In Italy, scholars have also argued for a long time on whether there was a specific law that aimed at abolishing ancient Olympics. The observation on Theodo- sia Code proved that there was no such law in history of late Roman Empire. Ancient Olympics disappeared automatically rather than being abolished. The beginning time of the disappearance started from the wide application of the constitution on oppression of the paganism under the rule of Theodosia the Grand in September of 394. After the final constitution of oppression of paganism issued by Theodosia II in November 453, there would be no any possibility of the ex- istence of ancient Olympics.
