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 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.
