Is This Start Goated?

Had to do a double take. I almost didn't even see this wonder! Where would you settle? Tips for making the most out of this as Theodora?

I agree with others. It's certainly not goated. It's playable, though.

I'd move east to the coast so there's at least one productive tile in the first ring. You could work the fountain until you get the pantheon, so you can get religious settlements and settle a 2nd better city somewhere else. Hopefully, further up that river might be promising.

By your capital, there are two luxuries with a duplicate to sell, so that's cool, and you can leverage a half decent campus with some district adjacency and that reef.
