Excerpt: "In 1936, when part of the houses built on one of the curved sides of the Stadium were demolished, experts(Submitted on September 5, 2025, by Sean P. Flynn of Oak Park, Illinois.)were able to discover a portion of the cavea (staircase for the audience) where one of the main entrances was located. The archaeological discoveries included numerous sculpture fragments of inestimable value and a Pentelic marble torso: a copy of the 4th century BC Apollo Lykeios by Praxiteles. Other remains of the Stadium have been identified in many basements of Piazza Navona, others are located underneath the buildings of the Ιcole Franηaise de Rome and under the beautiful church of St. Agnese."Photographed by Sean P.
