Greek Massalia, 100 BC
Massalia in 100 BC is a thriving Phocaean trading colony crowned by temples and a theatre on its northern hills and ringed by pink stone ramparts around the Lacydon harbour. This walk moves from the Gulf of Lion into the Lacydon basin, along busy quays and shipyards, past markets and artisans, finishing on the hill that watches the sea lanes to Ionia and the Rhone.
35 scenes — 22 streets, squares and views, 13 interiors to step inside. Planned from the Wikipedia record of Marseille as it stood in 100 BC (“Massalia”).
