Selucian National Games

The Selucian National Games (Selucian: Luci Seluciani) were originally a festival, or celebration of and for the Gods of Religio Seluciana, established by the Selucian Empire after the Unification of Selucia and the establishment of the Religio as the new state's official religion. The games were initially organized by the consuls and later by the Curule Aediles. They are a series of athletic competitions among athletes from the five provinces of Selucia. Selucians gave them a mythological origin. They are currently held every five years, and only two athletes are crowned victors, after they compete in all sports, with distinction between men and women.

During the celebration of the games in the past, an Honour Truce was enacted so that athletes could travel from their cities to the games in safety. The prizes for the victors were olive leaf wreaths or crowns. In times of war, priests would offer sacrifices to the gods for victory. Victors at the Games were honored, and their feats chronicled for future generations. They are considered to be extremely hard, and in the past, athletes would even die in them.

In 1975, after the restoration of democracy, games were restored with the current system (every five years, one man and one woman as winners).

They served as the base for the modern Olympic Games, and nowadays they have become a massive event with an audience of millions and broadcasted internationally.
