Source: Eas vero, quae tam orientali quam occidentali lateri copulantur, quas nulla a platea aditus adque egressus patens pervias facit, veterum usibus popinarum iubebit adscribi.
Cod. Theod. XV, 1, 53
Source: The use of the Capitolium at Constantinople as a temple of the Triad can hardly have outlasted the closure of pagan temples in the fourth century, and in the early fifth century it had become Christianized at least to the extent of having a cross placed on the top of it... Crawley Quinn & Wilson (2013), p. 147
Overall: The article is well-written and thoroughly sourced. While the current hook is acceptable, the article could benefit from additional hook options to make it more engaging. QPQ review is pending.

Thanks @
Alessandro57: for addressing the remaining comments. I am personally not fond of using figures of speech in hooks (temple...born) but the alternative you provided is indeed interesting. I will approve the submission.
