After the destruction of Judea in 135 CE, the Roman Emperor Hadrian built a temple to Asclepius/Serapis on the same site where the pool at Bethesda had been. His new construction at that time consisted of 5 porches for each of Asclepius' 5 daughters.

Does anyone have archaeological sources for this?
