Regarding Grave stone of Lucius Aelius Urbicus. The Roman Turicum

After the Romans had conquered the Alps, a military base was built at Lindenhof in 15 BC, marking the beginning of the Roman era in Zürich. An inscription on a grave which dates from the late second century indirectly mentions "Turicum" as the name of the Roman "vicus" and indicates that it was a customs point. Towards the end of the Roman era, shortly after 400 AD, a castle was built on the Lindenhof (in 370 AD, possibly earlier).
