The fort
With an internal area of just 0.8 ha, the camp is described as a small fort and was probably designed for a garrison of 100 to 150 men. A 1.65 m thick defensive wall with a wooden walkway surrounded the rectangular complex. Analysis of the finds showed that the fort was built around 170 AD and the area was used until well into the 5th century.
The civilian settlement
The small civilian settlement(vicus), which was located in the area of today's campsite, was built around 150 AD. The Roman vicus of Schlögen probably served as a road station as well as a landing and reloading point for ships. The bathing building occupied a central position in the settlement and was located directly next to the road.
