Modern Description: The W hill above the stadium is fenced, with a gate occasionally open from Archimedous St, or dog-walkers can show you the informal entrance. A few large blocks and some mortared rubble foundations remain near the summit, very likely from the temple of the Tyche (Fortune) of the City, of which Regilla, Herodes Atticus's wife, was priestess.
