ΗΡΑΙΟΝ (Αρχαίο ιερό) ΚΑΜΠΑΝΙΑ
Site: Foce del Sele
Type: Temple
Summary: Octastyle temple in an archaic santuary devoted to Argive
Hera.
Date: Unknown
Plan:
An octastyle temple with 17 columns on the long sides. The stereobyte is presevered
to its original height in some places. Following Ionic usage, the axes of the
cella walls are alligned with those of the corresponding columns of the peristasis.
A pronoas, noas, and adyton compose the cella, and the lateral walls had columns
instead of antae. The pteroma widens greatly on the east side, equaling the dimensions
of the three interaxials.
History:
The temple was erected towards the end of the 6th century B.C. An earthquake,
perhaps in 63 A.D., probably destroyed the temple. The eruption of Vesuvius in
79 A.D. buried the Heraion complex and by the 4th century A.D. all traces of activity
have disppeared.
Other Notes:
Unstable terrain dictated the placement of four courses under the peristasis and
two under the cella.The columns are sandstone conglomerate, all with eighteen
flutes, to which correspond two groups of capitals, diverse in profile. A multiple
molding crowned the architrave and the moldings of the external face bear plastic
decoration composed of Lesbian leaves, egg and dart, and bead and reel. Multiple
molding bearing, from top to bottom, a Lesbian leaf, an Ionic leaf, and a small
cyma reversa formed the normal Doric gesion above the frieze. The temple was entered
by means of a ramp abutting the crepidoma on the east front and the altar is situated
34.1 m from this front.

Site: Foce del Sele
Type: Treasury
Summary: Treasury building attributed to the Sybarites.
Date: 570 B.C. - 550 B.C.
Period: Archaic
Plan:
The remains of the naos are the end wall to the west and the long walls to a maximum
height of four courses. There is no trace of a pronaos or a wall between pronaos
and naos. Reconstruction remains largely hypothetical.
History:
The erection of the treasury has been attributed to the Sybarites, and its incompleteness
to the destruction of their city.
Other Notes:
Of thirty-eight metopes belonging to the treasury, three are illegible.

Region: Lucania
Periods: Archaic, Classical, Hellenistic
Type: Sanctuary
Summary: Sanctuary dedicated to Argive Hera.
Physical Description:
Located at the mouth of the Sele river, ca. 10 km north
of Paestum, the Heraion was a small sanctuary with a temple of Hera, two monumental
altars, a treasury, and surrounding stoas.
Description:
Traditionally said to have been founded by Jason, the leader of the Argonauts,
the sanctuary was established by Greek colonists in the 7th century B.C. The Heraion
flourished in the Archaic period, but was less active in the 5th and 4th centuries
B.C. In the Hellenistic period the site again rose to prominence. During the Roman
period the Heraion declined in importance and, following earthquake damage and
the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius, it fell into disuse. In the Christian period it
became a quarry for building stone. The location of the sanctuary was forgotten
until it was rediscovered in 1934.
