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 Duel - Tomb Painting, Andriuolo Tomb 4 Description An account of the resource Location: National Archaeological Museum of Paestum <br />Date: late 4th century BC <br /><br />Details: The tomb frescoes of fourth century Paestum vividly express a mixture of cultures, drawing from Greek, Lucanian/south Italic, and Etruscan traditions. <br />Funerary games, such as dueling, boxing, and chariot racing, are commonly depicted in these paintings, celebrating the lives of the deceased and the martial virtues valued by Lucanian society. Images of dueling and gladiatorial combat, as pictured in this tomb, seem to have their origins particularly in Italic funerary traditions. However, note that the combatants pictured here wield both Greek and Italic military equipment. The combatant on the left appears to wear an Attic helmet, popular in the Greek east, while his opponent on the right wears an Italo-Corinthian helmet was used in Italy. Both wield a large hoplite shield (hoplon) and seem to wear the type of linen armor (linothorax) used in Greece and Macedonia.<br />Greek and Etruscan traditions peak out elsewhere: the thick red border at the bottom of the image (called a "dado") is well known from Etruscan art, where it was employed to mark off the base of walls; on the other hand, the red spheres hanging around the fighters are almost certainly pomegranates, which were "associated with death and rebirth in Greek iconongraphy as in the story of Persephone eating pomegranate in the underworld" (Tuck, 57).<br /><br />Further reading:<br />Tuck, Steven L. <em>A History of Roman Art. </em>Wiley-Blackwell, 2015.
