• ... that the Capitolium of Constantinople hosted wine shops?

• ALT1 ... that the Capitolium of Constantinople, born as a pagan temple, was later topped by a cross?
• 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...

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. el.ziade (talkallam) 14:47, 8 May 2024 (UTC)

Hallo, @Elias Ziade:, I added a hook and did the QPQ. Cheers, Alex2006 (talk) 07:29, 9 May 2024 (UTC)

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.el.ziade (talkallam) 08:56, 10 May 2024 (UTC)

Hallo @Elias Ziade:, what about:
