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.

"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.
