I finally decided to look up what "castellum" meant and it can refer to a watch tower or a signal station. Curiously the wiki article uses Hadrian's Wall as an example of where this term is used. Hadrian being the Roman Emperor and lover to the 13-year-old Antinous.

What the fuck, so this is a watchtower next to a children's playground, labelled ironically / tongue-in-cheek as a museum? fuck me sideways batman

I think it's more significant that it connects back to Hadrian and Antinous since Alefantis's instagram photo was of a statue of him.

Well ofc the greek styled connections are of importance, but the application of modern terminologies is just a slap in the face
