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 Heroon Description An account of the resource Location: Paestum Date: c. 520-510 BC Details: Greek settlers founded Poseidonia (later called Paestum) around 600 BC. One of the earliest civic structures is the heroon, a square, roofed chamber that was carved out of bedrock near the agora (marketplace). An altar was likely located in front of the structure, to the east. When excavated, the structure was found to be filled with bronze vases and Athenian black-figure pottery. The structure has been interpreted as a heroon, or shrine built to honor the founding hero of the city. When the Greek city fell under the sway of Lucanians (local Italian peoples) and then the Romans, the heroon was respectfully surrounded with an enclosure and covered over with earth.

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 South Italian Bronze Helmet, Triple-Disc Cuirass, Greaves - Gaudo Tomb 164 Subject The topic of the resource Location: National Archaeological Museum of Paestum Date: Early Fourth Century BC Details: As the south Italian (Lucanian) population of Paestum grew, there is a noticeable shift in the use and typology of grave goods. Whereas earlier graves had included one or two vases and a few other items--largely typical of western Greek burial practice--many graves in the fourth and third century are more richly stocked and clearly point to Italic influences. Wealthier female graves often contain amber jewelry of Italic origin as well as sets of iron fibulae (brooches). Male tombs, on the other hand, often feature the inclusion of weapons and armor. The bronze armor featured here is typical of southern Italy in the fourth century, most notably in the so-called "triple-disc" cuirass and helmet with feather-plumes. They suggest that the tomb's occupant (or his family) was of at least some status, and point to the martial identity expected of young men throughout fourth century Italy.

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.

"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.

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.
