That must have been a hellish duty station
Listen! I don’t want to hear ANYTHING from ‘Popular Mechanics’ until my flying car is hovering in my driveway.
I’ve been WAITING since 1960! ;)
Thanks, SunkenCiv.
“ Crap Ses area between Cunter and Tiefencastel …”
Wow. Really?
In the first century BC, Alpine tribes such as the Salassi, the Noricans and the Vindelici were raiding northern Italy, as far east as modern-day Slovenia, and blocking the passes to Germany and Transalpine Gaul. From around 30 BC to AD 8, the Romans waged an extensive campaign in modern-day Switzerland and Austria to suppress them. This camp may have been established during that campaign.
Its on the border with present-day Italy near Lake Como - so given Roman history, they probably figured it was really important to keep a garrison there
As Napolean said: “Italy is like a boot, you have to enter it from the top.”
“Archaeologists Found an Ancient Roman Military Camp Hiding 7,000 Feet High in the Sky”
Did they find Comma-La’s cloud?
Wait, don’t Archaeologists dig in the ground? NOT the sky.
A lot of “skyhooks”?
How many Romans were still alive in camp?
They called it “Camp Skyhook”.
What I wouldn't give for just a couple of 'teenths' of whatever the dudes were smoking when they made up these names.
Maybe it is just an ancient hadron collider built by the Romans...
