Man, you'd make an awesome Roman. I'd blame the Great Library fire on you.

Before they patched it you could build a ruin on the ruin site, hit cancel and right before the “demolish animation” had played out you hit pause and then build something else on top of the ruins. You would end up with a weird looking building but it worked.
The ruins are a waste of space in my opinion and you should be able to demolish them.

It'd be cool to unearth some treasure or artifacts on the black market, so I'm with you on that.
