Around 80 BC, a Greek ship was wrecked near the coast of present-day Mahdia. The wreck remained untouched until 1907 when it attracted the attention of a fisherman. Six years later, part of the treasure was brought to the surface: bronze statues, capitals... An expedition of the commander Cousteau fished out other pieces, and the excavations still continue. The jewel of the current collection is a bronze couple whose subject is Dionysus. You won't see any of them in Mahdia: the collection is in the Bardo Museum in Tunis.

Depuis le milieu du XIXe siècle, les pêcheurs de Mahdia plongent pour gagner leur vie mais la découverte de l’épave marque leur existence en entrant dans l’histoire.
