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 Tomb of the Diver Description An account of the resource Location: National Archaeological Museum of Paestum Date: 480-470 BC Details: The so-called Tomb of the Diver was discovered about a mile (1.5 km) south of the ruins of Paestum. The tomb consisted of a chamber built from five stone slabs--one for each of the walls and one for the roof--and covered with plaster. They feature one of the earliest and best preserved examples of Greek monumental painting. The walls of the tomb depict a symposium, an important social gathering for aristocrats in ancient Greek communities. Participants at symposia would recline together on couches after a meal to enjoy drinking, poetry, music, and conversation. One of the men portrayed in this tomb holds a lyre--an instrument which was used to accompany lyric poetry--and a lyre was one of the grave goods in this tomb. The symposium scene clearly connects the tomb's occupant to the elite, male culture that was prevalent across the Greek world in this period. On the other hand, the tomb equally indicates connections to Italian cultural traditions. The covering slab features the painting of the eponymous diver, after whom the tomb is named. It may symbolize the diver metaphorically "diving" into the afterlife, transitioning from life to death, paralleling scenes in Etruscan art (e.g. the diver scene in the Tomb of Hunting and Fishing). It has also been argued that the local inhabitant was of Italian origin, thus attesting to the cross-cultural contact that characterized Paestum (Greek Poseidonia) from an early date.
