Invictus Games

The Invictus Games (Vespasian: Giochi di invictus) refers to a set of major international sporting competitions spanning across a number of sports and events, in which athletes from across the globe participate. The two major set of events are the Summer and Winter games, but there is also the Youth and Paravictus games. The games are held every four years, alternating betwen Summer and Winter every two years.

The modern Invictus Games began when Girolamo Aurelio Fioravanti founded the International Invictus Committee and hosted the first games in Solaria in 1898. The games were based on the Sol Invictus festival held in the late Solarian Republic, which were a celebration of Sol, the patron god of old Solaria. The ancient Solarians competed in a number of sports and shows of physical prowess to prove that they were worthy of Sol's supreme patronage. Additional inspiration was taken from the Solarian triumphs and the similar but distinct Mytikas games which took place in ancient Piraea.
