Around 15 B.C.E., imperial Roman troops clashed with Rhaetian tribesmen near a gorge in Switzerland. Following the battle, one of the legionaries dug a hole and buried his dagger, possibly as an offering to the gods.
That’s where the ornate pugio remained until 2019, when an amateur archaeologist surveyed the site with a metal detector, reports Swiss Radio and Television (SRF). The find by then-dental student Lucas Schmid led to the discovery of hundreds of additional artifacts, including Roman slingshots, horseshoe nails, coins and parts of shields. These objects are now being displayed for the first time by the Archaeological Service of Graubünden (ADG).
