In the 1980s, the remains of a Roman estate, a so-called villa rustica, were uncovered on the Treuchtlinger Nagelberg.

In Roman times, the area around Treuchtlingen belonged to the province of Rhaetia in the hinterland of the Limes. The supply of the military and the civilian population in the camp villages was ensured by a large number of estates (villae rusticae).
