Vivier Maritime gallo-romain, Archaeological site near Roquebrune-sur-Argens, France.

The maritime reservoir stretches 20 meters in length with varying widths between 5 and 12 meters, featuring three separate pools divided by low walls.

Built during the Gallo-Roman period, this fish farming facility operated as a storage system for fresh fish used in the production of garum sauce.

The reservoir functioned specifically between March 15 and June 15, capturing spawning fish through a system of regulated water flow and sluice gates.

The site is accessible via the D559 departmental road connecting Fréjus to Le Lavandou, through Sainte-Maxime and La Croix-Valmer.

The facility was intentionally placed 500 meters away from Roman villas due to the strong odors produced during the fish sauce manufacturing process.
