Lacryma Christi, (also Lachryma Christi of Vesuvius, literally "tears of Christ"), is the name of a celebrated Neapolitan type of wine produced on the slopes of Mount Vesuvius .

Modern day Paestum was in ancient times known as Poseidonia.
Notable are the three ancient Greek temples which are in a very good state of preservation.
It is assumed that Poseidonia harbored refugees from its mother city Sybaris (Calabria) when that city was conquered by Croton in 510 BC.
