Researchers have discovered a 2,000-year-old Roman military camp hidden in the mountains of Switzerland.
The site is located in the Alps of eastern Switzerland and northern Italy, at an elevation of 7,200 feet (2,220 meters). During Roman times, it was protected by three ditches and a defensive wall known as a rampart. The camp, which dates to the first century B.C., is located at a spot overlooking a known Roman-era battlefield, according to a translated statement from the Canton of Graubünden, an administrative region in eastern Switzerland.
