Located at 10 Place Vivaux in the 2nd arrondissement of Marseille, a few steps from the Old Port and the Hôtel de Ville, the Musée des Docks Romains houses an exceptional archaeological site: one of the last Roman port warehouses with dolia preserved in situ. Integrated into the building constructed between 1954 and 1956 above the site, the museum exhibits a complex where over 30 dolia, large ceramic containers of 1,800 liters, testify to the importance of wine and oil trade between the 1st and 3rd centuries AD. Discovered during the post-war excavations of 1947 by the archaeologist Fernand Benoit, these remains were classified as historical monuments as early as 1959. The museum opened in 1963 and was renovated in 1987, consolidating the link between urban archaeology and the port history of Marseille. The showcases along the walls collect artifacts recovered from archaeological dives on twenty marine wrecks: amphorae, anchors, scales, coins, tools, and everyday objects that illustrate the intensity of ancient Mediterranean traffic.
