While as yet working as a religious focus, the Acropolis, it might be said, turned into a sort of "historical center" or "theater of memory" connecting the "superbness days" of Athens with the new powers of the Hellenistic and, later, Roman world. In 267 A.D. Athens was attacked and mostly devastated by the Heruli from northern Europe. In the outcome, another fortress divider was assembled around the city, running from the Acropolis north to the Library of Hadrian, east for a couple of hundred meters, and after that at last back south towards the North and East Slopes of the Acropolis. (The course of this "Post-Herulian" or Late Roman stronghold divider is not totally known on the eastern side, and it is likely that they included some portion of the South Slope of the Acropolis also). The Acropolis at the end of the day has turned into an essential bastion, and the western appoach was reinforced by another door (the alleged Beulé Gate, named after an early prehistorian). The new circuit additionally secured an essential wellspring of water, the Klepsydra, inside of the fortresses of the Acropolis. All through late vestige and the Middle Age up until the freedom of Greece from the Ottoman Empire in the mid nineteenth century, the Acropolis remained a vital and a very much protected stronghold .
