A previously unknown Roman military camp has been discovered at a high-altitude location in Graubünden, Switzerland, shedding new light on the Roman military presence in the region. Situated at approximately 2,200 meters (7,218 feet) above sea level in the Colm la Runga area, the camp is fortified by three ditches and a rampart, providing a strategic vantage point over the surrounding valleys and passes. This remarkable find is dated to the same period as a nearby battlefield in Crap Ses, placing it in the 3rd and 2nd decades BC. A Collaboration Between Archaeologists and Volunteers The discovery is the result of ongoing research conducted by the Vindonissa Professorship at the University of Basel, in collaboration with the Archaeological Service of Graubünden, states the Canton of Graubünden release.
