Looking to the past
Poseidonia, now Paestum located in Southern Italy. Photo of the Second Temple of Hera II or Poseidon/Nettuno built in the Doric order around 460–450 BC, stands adjacent to the first temple of Hera. It name still disputed to this day by scholars to be dedicated to Hera or Poseidon (Greek) / Neptune (Roman). Instead of the typical 20 flutes on each column as of the time, they have 24 flutes. The Temple of Hera II or Poseidon also has a wider colum
in size and smaller intervals between columns. To this day scholar have no reason, maybe in their new land of Magna Grecia they wanted to be different.
Still a Sight to see
