Itius Portus, Ancient Roman port in Nord-Pas-de-Calais, France
This Roman port situated along the English Channel features remains of maritime infrastructure and evidence of naval activities near present-day Calais.
Julius Caesar selected this strategic location as the assembly point for his second military expedition to Britain in 54 BC.
Archaeological excavations at the port site reveal patterns of maritime trade between Roman Gaul and Britain through recovered artifacts and structures.
The port location near Cap Gris Nez provided efficient access to Britain with an estimated distance of 30,000 paces across the English Channel.
Multiple locations compete for recognition as the true site of Itius Portus, including Wissant, Boulogne-sur-Mer, and a silted lagoon near Calais.
