Years: 1492 - 1503
Toulon, located on the Mediterranean Sea about thirty miles (fifty kilometers) east of Marseille, was called Telo Martius by the Romans, who used it as a naval station.
Provence had become part of France in 1486.
Soon afterwards, in 1494, Charles VIII of France, with the intention of making France a sea power on the Mediterranean, and to support his military campaign in Italy, begins constructing a military port at the harbor of Toulon.
His Italian campaign fails, and 1497, the rulers of Genoa, who control commerce on this part of the Mediterranean, blockade the new port.
