Nikanor of Stageira at the Olympic Games of 324 BC proclaimed the return of the exiles. Titus Quinctius Flamininus in 196 BC proclaimed the freedom of the Hellenic states at the Isthmian Games. In 67 AD Nero also proclaimed the “freedom” of the province of Achaea at the Isthmian Games, moreover granting ateleia (tax exemptions) for the residents.

But I couldn’t find a similar link for Flaminius, other than the building of the Circus Flaminius on the Campus Martius.
