... Oho...

The Second Sanctum was constructed a little while later, funded mostly by the proceeds from the fire insurance which the scholars had been clever enough to invest in - although since slaves work for free, this cost was minimal anyway. Due to the unhappy demise of the original island in one of the Mediterranean's famous earthquakes, it was built in a safer place - in the hilly country of Northern Greece. Built in the classical style and commisioned by Stavros the Precocious (a direct descendant of Stivestos), it enjoyed a golden age of unsurpassed knowledge that was only cut short when the Romans invaded and stole their ideas and renamed them to fit their own purposes. The Sanctum itself was broken into blocks and used in the construction of a new, state-of-the art arena for chubby, pompous Romans to watch gladiators being disembowelled in. Stavros spent the resat of his life in severe, chronic depression, until he was killed by a Roman soldier after arguing with him over the correct way to spell "sestertii".
