Did Romans do the Olympics in the nude?

Answer:
The Romans did not "do" the Olympics. The Olympics were Greek contests and one had to be a citizen of a Greek city to participate. It's quite possible that a Roman, born in a Greek city could enter, but no name has come down to us. The only Roman we know for certain that participated in the Olympics was the emperor Nero, but he competed in the poetry contests, not the athletic.
