The ancient Paestum was built around 2500 years ago (late 7th century BC), occupying the green Piana del Sele in Magna Graecia. Dedicated to the god of the sea Poseidon, the then Poseidonia was founded by the citizens of Sibari (now Calabria), to make it a port on the Tyrrhenian Sea useful for trade with the Etruscans. In the age of classical Greece (V-IV century BC), the city experienced its period of maximum splendor and wealth, thus forging the face that seduced eighteenth-century travelers with its Greek walls, the large agora and its three large temples. In 273 BC, Rome established a colony of Latin law there and the city became Paestum. Relations between Pestani and Romans are always close and trusted, so much so that the ancient polis beats its own currency and prospered in the economy while absorbing the new Roman urban reorganization.
