During 2003–2004 seventy objects related to the history of competitive sport in the ancient world were on display in the Colosseum in Rome. The display was called “Nike. Il gioco e la vittoria” (Nike, joy and victory)—it had nothing to do with the shoe company! The following are images from that display.
