Vitudurum

Vitudurum was a Roman vicus, whose remains are located in Oberwinterthur, a locality of the municipality of Winterthur in the canton of Zürich in Switzerland [1]. Vitudurum was established nearby productive resources and a prehistoric route from Lake Geneva to Lake Constance in the late first century BC or early first century AD [1]. In AD 7 the Romans rebuilt the passageway in the Oberwinterthur area into a road [1]. The open settlement had its flowering time in the 1st and 2nd centuries [1]. In the area of the Vicus settlement remains of the European Neolithic, the early and late Bronze Age and grave remains of the Middle Bronze Age and the early Iron Age were uncovered [1].
