with a palaestra—an ancient wrestling school—among its ruins

That's why it's called the Palestra! Anyone growing up in Philly when its colleges were the center of college basketball knew that name and that place.

I'm not sure it was worth living 70 years before learning that 🙂 but my brain is a little heavier today.

If they were always wrestling in there, no wonder it’s in ruins.
