This is evidenced by the opening of the ancient Roman military camp at an altitude of 2200 meters in the Alps in Switzerland. Archaeologists first studied the battlefield of the Roman era, which is located 900 meters below the camp.

But the use of laser surface scan made it possible to make, as scientists say, a sensational discovery. It turned out that in the mountains hid the whole 2000 years fortified the structure of the Roman army, which was of strategic importance. The military camp was located in such a way that the Romans had a very good overview of the surrounding valleys and mountain passes. It was the perfect point for observing enemies that were approaching.

At the same time, a beautiful view of the battlefield, which was studied by archaeologists, opened from the camp. Scientists believe that this camp is directly related to this battlefield. During the Roman Empire, the military camp was protected by three ditches and a defensive wall known as the shaft showing research data. The opening of the camp shows that Roman troops had to pass through mountain passes to reach this place.

The study of the military camp made it possible to identify many ancient Roman artifacts, such as weapons, shells for the sling, as well as nails for legionnaire shoes. Most likely, the legionnaires who were housed in this camp participated in the battle, which took place almost a kilometer below in the Alps.
