Title A name given to the resource Paestum Archaeological Site & Museum Description An account of the resource Poseidonia (later known as Paestum) was established around 600 BC by colonists from Sybaris, an older Greek colony on the south Italian coast. The town seems to have flourished in the intervening centuries, judging from its significant architectural remains--most famously its three large temples, of which impressive ruins survive. By 400 BC the city had taken on a large number of Lucanians, an Italian people from the surrounding region that spoke an Oscan language. While ancient authors like Strabo (and many modern authors) depict this as a Lucanian "conquest" or "occupation," most scholars now posit that the two cultures existed side-by-side, producing new, blended traditions (as seen in e.g. their tomb paintings). From 280-275 BC, the city sided with Pyrrhus of Epirus, a warrior-king who invaded from the Greek east, in his war against Rome. The Romans were ultimately victorious, and Poseidonia/Paestum became the site of a Roman colony in 273 BC. As a Roman colony, the civic architecture significantly changed to fall more in line with Roman models, pointing to the power and influence of the new Roman colonists. The city remained inhabited well into the Roman imperial period and into the early middle ages, though it was gradually abandoned by the seventh century.

Title A name given to the resource Temple of Athena Description An account of the resource Location: Paestum Date: c. 500 BC Details: This archaic Greek temple was built in the Greek colony of Poseidonia (later called Paestum), which was probably established in southern Italy around 600 BC. The remains are one of the oldest standing structures in Paestum's ruins. It was originally believed to be a temple to the goddess Ceres, but numerous findings of terracottas depicting Athena suggest that the temple was dedicated to her. An interesting feature of the temple is that the outer columns are in the Doric style--i.e. there is no base to the columns and there is limited decoration at the top. However, there were two interior columns (neither of which is standing) in the Ionic style--i.e. they had bases and decorated capitals. This may suggest that the temple was built during a period of architectural transition.

"Temple of Poseidon") Description An account of the resource Location: Paestum Date: 460-450 BC Details: Originally this temple was identified as a Temple of Poseidon/Neptune, but finds dedicated to Hera (including a silver disk that proclaims "I am sacred to Hera: strengthen our bows"), and sculptures depicting the marriage of Zeus and Hera, suggest that this and the adjacent temple ("the Basilica") were likely dedicated to that goddess (and perhaps to Zeus as well). 36 massive Doric columns, made of local travertine stone, form the outer colonnade of the temple. Inside the cella (the inner chamber where the statue of the divinity resided), there were additionally 14 two-storied columns for supporting a tall roof (suggesting that the statue of the god was particularly tall); many of these still stand. The temple plan is very similar to that of the Temple of Zeus at Olympia (c. 430s BC), and the patterning may have been deliberate.

"The Basilica") Description An account of the resource Location: Paestum Date: 560-520 BC Details: Originally this temple was identified as a basilica (i.e. a public meeting space), but finds dedicated to Hera (including a silver disk that proclaims "I am sacred to Hera: strengthen our bows"), and sculptures depicting Hera and the marriage of Zeus and Hera, suggest that this building was, like the adjacent structure, a temple dedicated to that particular goddess. According to the site archaeological guide, the building "is indisputably the best-preserved temple in the whole of the Greek world for the period concerned." Some of its distinctive Archaic features include the low, flat capitals (i.e. tops) of its Doric columns. The columns also demonstrate "entasis"--that is to say, the columns curve in at the top and lean in slightly. Another interesting feature is that the cella (inner chamber) had a row of columns right down the middle. This made the cella--and indeed the whole temple--wider than usual.

Title A name given to the resource Comitium Description An account of the resource Location: Paestum Date: 273 BC Details: In 273, the Romans established a Latin colony at Paestum. (The city was originally called Poseidonia, then, after the take over by an Italian people called Lucanians, it was called Paistos, from which name the Latin "Paestum" was derived.) As in other Latin colonies, the settlers grafted Roman-style civic structures on top of the older city, in the process transforming the original Greek layout of the town. The comitium, as in Rome, was a place where citizens met for public meetings (contiones), to elect local magistrates, and for some judicial activities. At Paestum, the tiered seating of the comitium is still visible. Interestingly, the west side of the comitium building was partly demolished in the first century BC to make room for the (re?)constructed temple to Bona Mens (Good Mind). Thus, the comitium had probably fallen out of use, suggesting that the citizens had begun to meet in another location or the nature of civic activity had changed.

Title A name given to the resource Ekklesiaterion or Bouleuterion Description An account of the resource Location: Paestum Date: fifth century BC Details: In many Greek cities, the ekklesiaterion was a building that hosted meetings of the ekklesia, the assembly of all adult male citizens. The bouleuterion was a building designated for the boule, usually about 500 leading councilmen. This building may be either, though its size perhaps points towards the latter. The building was certainly in use when Paestum (or Poseidonia) was a Greek city, and continued in use after the Lucanians (a local Italian people) had become prominent in the city population. The building was demolished and thus fell out of use when the Roman colony was installed in 273 BC, after which political gravity shifted towards the forum, comitium, and curia.

By 400 BC the city had taken on a large number of Lucanians, an Italian people from the surrounding region that spoke an Oscan language. While ancient authors like Strabo (and many modern authors) depict this as a Lucanian "conquest" or "occupation," most scholars now posit that the two cultures existed side-by-side, producing new, blended traditions (as seen in e.g. their tomb paintings). From 280-275 BC, the city sided with Pyrrhus of Epirus, a warrior-king who invaded from the Greek east, in his war against Rome. The Romans were ultimately victorious, and Poseidonia/Paestum became the site of a Roman colony in 273 BC. As a Roman colony, the civic architecture significantly changed to fall more in line with Roman models, pointing to the power and influence of the new Roman colonists. The city remained inhabited well into the Roman imperial period and into the early middle ages, though it was gradually abandoned by the seventh century.

Title A name given to the resource Basilica Description An account of the resource Location: Paestum Date: second half of the second century BC Details: In 273, the Romans established a Latin colony at Paestum. (The city was originally called Poseidonia by its Greek inhabitants.) As in other Latin colonies, the settlers grafted Roman-style civic structures on top of the older city, in the process transforming the original Greek layout of the town. The basilica, like similar structures in Rome, was a place where city officials performed many of their duties. This was a place where legal proceedings took place and business was transacted; it also may have housed public archives. (Note that on Paestum site maps, the basilica is labeled as the "curia," perhaps to avoid confusion with the southernmost temple popularly known as "the Basilica.")

Title A name given to the resource Fortifications Description An account of the resource Location: Paestum Date: the walls visible today were probably built between the late fourth and third century BC, when a Roman colony was established here. However, they may have been preceded by an earlier fortification system. Details: The massive fortification walls of Paestum once stood about 7 meters (~23 feet) tall--or taller--and were 5-6 meters (15-20 feet) thick. They stretched nearly 5 km (~3 miles) around the city. They had 28 towers and four main gates. The wall is ashlar (which basically means that it was made of rectangular dressed stones) and made from local travertine stone. There was a large ditch in front of the walls, as was common in Hellenistic fortifications.

Title A name given to the resource Amphitheater Description An account of the resource Location: Paestum Date: c. 100-50 BC Details: The amphitheater at Paestum was built in the mid-late first century BC, making it one of the earliest extant Roman amphitheaters, and reflects the growing popularity of these structures in the late Roman Republic. Only half of the amphitheater is visible, as half was covered over by a modern road.

Title A name given to the resource Heroon Description An account of the resource Location: Paestum Date: c. 520-510 BC Details: Greek settlers founded Poseidonia (later called Paestum) around 600 BC. One of the earliest civic structures is the heroon, a square, roofed chamber that was carved out of bedrock near the agora (marketplace). An altar was likely located in front of the structure, to the east. When excavated, the structure was found to be filled with bronze vases and Athenian black-figure pottery. The structure has been interpreted as a heroon, or shrine built to honor the founding hero of the city. When the Greek city fell under the sway of Lucanians (local Italian peoples) and then the Romans, the heroon was respectfully surrounded with an enclosure and covered over with earth.
