Taking the form of an archaeological enquiry, Mare Nostrum - the Amphora Route is an invitation to travel in time and location to the height of the Roman Empire via an important component of Mediterranean and French joint heritage - wine.

Why is it that every time an archaeological underwater dig takes places, amphoras are nearly always brought to the surface?
Why and how was the wine contained in these common receptacles that are so symbolic of Antiquity, the object of such intense trade?
And above all, what do these amphoras tell us about Roman economic, political, military and cultural domination throughout the Mediterranean Basin?
