By 5 AD there was a dock on the shore of Lake Murten, which is the first evidence of a settlement at Aventicum. A grave has also been discovered in the city that dates to 15 AD. During that time there was a small settlement built, in the north east corner of modern Avenches, in the Roman square style. However this site can only be dated to the reign of Tiberius (14 - 37 AD). Aventicum would have grown in 16-17 AD as the Roman legion camp Vindonissa was built in Windisch, Canton Aargau. Aventicum was a major location on the Roman road from Lausanne to Vindonissa.
