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.

"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.
