About this stone

This is a fascinating archaeological site that once served as a major Roman legionary camp, established around 15 BCE and home to several Roman legions. It played a key role in the defense and administration of the Roman province of Germania Superior. Today, you can explore the remains of Roman baths, an amphitheater, and a remarkable underground canal system. It stands as the only Roman legionary camp on Swiss territory, making it a unique window into the region's ancient past.
