Paestum

Seyfi Cem Baskin

600 до н. э. – 700 н. э.

A Greek colonial city on the Tyrrhenian coast of southern Italy (Campania) containing three of the best-preserved ancient Greek temples in the world — older and more complete than most surviving temples in Greece itself.

“Paestum provides what Greece itself rarely does: temples that survive above the level of the column capital, so that the proportions, entablature, and spatial experience intended by their architects can be directly experienced.”

Местоположение

Обзор

Paestum (originally Poseidonia) lies on a flat coastal plain in the Cilento region of Campania, 85 km south of Naples, 1.5 km from the Tyrrhenian Sea. It was founded by Greek settlers from Sybaris around 600 BCE and retained its Greek character until its conquest by the Lucanians c. 400 BCE and later incorporation into the Roman world c. 273 BCE. Three temples survive in extraordinary condition: the Temple of Hera I (commonly called the "Basilica"), c. 550 BCE, the oldest and largest, with its original 50 squat Doric columns still standing; the Temple of Hera II (commonly misidentified as the Temple of Neptune), c. 460 BCE, the best-preserved Doric temple in the world, with entablature complete to the cornice; and the Temple of Athena (misidentified as "Ceres"), c. 500 BCE, preserving its original painted terracotta roof decorations. The reason for the survival is the region's depopulation: Paestum declined sharply in the late Roman period following the silting of its harbor and the spread of malaria, and the site was gradually covered by vegetation and forgotten. Medieval travelers avoided the area; the temples stood undisturbed. The site was rediscovered by engineers surveying for the Salerno-Reggio Calabria road in 1746.

Почему это важно

Paestum provides what Greece itself rarely does: temples that survive above the level of the column capital, so that the proportions, entablature, and spatial experience intended by their architects can be directly experienced. The Temple of Hera II is, technically, the finest surviving example of the mature Doric order anywhere. Paestum also produced one of the most important single archaeological finds of the twentieth century: the Tomb of the Diver (1968), a fifth-century BCE painted tomb with a complete cycle of banquet and symposium scenes on four walls and a ceiling showing a youth diving into a sea — the only complete Greek narrative mural painting to survive from the Classical period, and the only one of its kind found in the Western Greek world. The paintings transformed understanding of Greek mural traditions, of which almost nothing else survived.

Хорошо установленные факты

  • The Temple of Hera II (c. 460 BCE) survives with its complete Doric colonnade, frieze, and most of the entablature intact — the most complete example of Greek Doric architecture above column-height surviving anywhere in the world.
  • The Tomb of the Diver, excavated in 1968, is a painted limestone chamber dated to c. 480–470 BCE. Its five slabs (four walls and a lid) retain vivid red and black figure paintings unique in the Greek world: the only complete Greek figural mural cycle from the Classical period.

Научные выводы

1
  • The three temples have traditionally been misnamed since their rediscovery (the "Temple of Neptune" is almost certainly dedicated to Hera; the "Temple of Ceres" to Athena). Correct identification comes from ceramic deposits, sculptural fragments, and the spatial relationship of the temples to the city's sanctuary zones.
