Title A name given to the resource Basilica of Santa Maria in Trastevere Description An account of the resource Location: Rome Date: Most of the present church was built in 1140-1143 by Pope Innocent II atop a fourth century basilica (which in turn went back to a third century house-church). The mosaics in the apse date from the 12th and 13th centuries. Details: The mosaics in the apse depict Christ seated with (perhaps) "Ecclesia," a female personification of the church. The seven figures around Christ's throne are identified by labels, from left to right, as Pope Innocent II (who refounded the church in the 12th century); St. Lawrence; Pope St. Callixtus; St. Peter; Pope St. Cornelius; Pope St. Julius (who constructed the 4th century church); and St. Calepodius.

Title A name given to the resource Nero's Golden House (Domus Aurea) Description An account of the resource Location: Rome Date: 64-68 AD Details: The Domus Aurea was a large park-and-residence palace built by the emperor Nero on the Oppian Hill. The building was constructed largely in the area destroyed in the "Great Fire" (AD 64), and included groves, vineyards, and an artificial lake. The buildings themselves were decked out in marble, jewels, and ivory, though the palace may have been called "Golden" because it was designed to let in maximum sunlight--which in turn would play off the shining marble and painted walls. Nero was declared a public enemy and committed suicide in 68. In subsequent years, his successors covered over most of the palace grounds. Most notably, the emperor Vespasian drained the artificial lake to build Colosseum (which took its name from a Colossal statue of Nero on the grounds), while Trajan used many of the structures as foundations for his massive bath complex. The palace was rediscovered in the 15th century, and many renaissance artists--including such luminaries as Raphael and Michelangelo--visited it to study the surviving paintings.

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.

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 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 Forum 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 forum, as in Rome, was an open air space that served as the political, sacred, and economic heart of the city. Markets were held in or around the forum, and many of the city's most important civic and religious buildings were built around the forum.

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.
