Paestum
Paestum,[1] olim Posidonia[1] (Ποσειδωνία) dicta, fuit urbs Italiae in Lucania ad mare Tyrrhenum sita. Antiquitate celebrabatur propter rosas, quae uno anno bis nascebantur, itaque Vergilius "biferique rosaria Paesti" cecinit.[2]
Condita est nomine Posidonia a colonis Graecis, ab urbe Sybari profectis, exeunte saeculo VII a.C.n., mature a Lucanis capta et Παιστός nominata, ad quam anno 273 a.C.n. Romani coloniam Latinam Paestum deduxerunt. Saeculo V vel ante sedes episcopalis (nunc titularis) factus est. Sed paulatim portus limo oppletus est, et ob aërem minus salubrem coepit incolarum numerus imminui adeo ut prope deserta fieret; a Saracenis denique est eversa.[3]
In ruinis Paesti iacent tria templa, circiter inter 600 et 450 a.C.n. constructa, quae Doricae architecturae formam prae se ferunt et Iunone, Minervae, et Iove aut Apollini dicata sunt (olim scriptores haec aliter interpretabantur). Moenia et amphitheatrum plerumque integra sunt, et exstant vestigia aliorum aedificiorum et viarum stratarum.[4]
Hodie Paestum est pars communis Calpatii-Paesti in provincia Salernitana. Variae reliquiae in Museo nationali archaeologico Paestano conservantur.
