PS a screen shot from my phone. I’ve obviously not optimized the map view for tiny screens. 😞 #temples #Poseidonia
The recent publicity around the western #temples within #Poseidonia’s city walls got me to add most of the other “little” temples within that area to TCW. Lots of them, but mostly very similarly aligned. https://romeresearchgroup.org/mapping/#
Temples of the Classical World

I greci la chiamavano Poseidonia. Poi vennero i lucani e la chiamarono Paistom. Ma quando i romani arrivarono la città divenne per tutto il mondo Paestum.
