The Stadium at Nemea sits on the ancient site of Nemea in the modern day region of Corinthia [1]. Here, ancient Greek athletes participated in the stadion only meters away from the Temple of Zeus [1]. In 1964, during an excavation by Charles K. Williams II, archaeologists discovered a rectangular stone across the front of the stadium [1]. This is thought to be the starting line [1].
