In the first half of the 1st century AD was built a farm south of the present old town.

It was altered repeatedly and given up during the invasions of the Allamani (around AD 260) or possibly around the middle of the 4th century.

The mansion was oriented to southwest. The central building was 56 to 22.5 meters large. It consisted of the living rooms, porticus and corner projections.

Later two rooms in the south were equipped with hypocausts. In the northwest was added a building. On the mountain side was built a porticus too.
