    Here on the Bözberg, "IN MONTEM VOCETIUM" (Tacitus, Historiarum Libri, I 68), the beleaguered Helvetians sought refuge in the year 69 AD.
    The violent death of Emperor Nero caused a simmering crisis in the empire to erupt and increased tensions between the Helvetians and the XXI Legion Rapax stationed in Vindonissa.
    At the beginning of the year 69, open conflict broke out: the Helvetians supported the new emperor Galba established in Rome, while the legionaries of the Rapax joined the sister legions under Vitellius stationed downstream on the Rhine. Incidents occurred: legionaries attacked a Helvetian money transport, Helvetians took legionaries prisoner.
    This ultimately led to the defeated Helvetians fighting and fleeing to the Bözberg, where they were partly massacred by Roman auxiliary troops, partly captured and sold as slaves.
