Footnote
Also known as Paestum, the Magna Graecian city of Poseidonia is home to some of the best-preserved Greek temples in the world, superior even to most found on the Greek mainland. Founded by settlers from Sybaris, the city was named after the Greek god of the sea. Its coinage proudly depicts Poseidon – originally in incuse designs, as was the custom for Archaic Magna-Graecian coinage.
