Pleiades
On the basis of epigraphic finds, stamped lead fistulae, and concrete foundations, it is generally agreed that the sanctuary should be placed where the present Via della Cordonata and the Via Ventiquattro Maggio meet. This is the present location of the Catholic church of San Silvestro al Quirinale, likely founded in the ninth century.
