I don't know much about the roman villa in Schleinikon.

Site?The book "Die Römer in der Schweiz (The Roman in Switzerland)" mentions only the site and few finds. After that the farm was on the northern slope of the Laegern between Schleinikon and Dachsleren. Laegern, or Laegeren is the ridge that runs in the south of these places.

1834 were found seven columns of marble with architrave pieces. Some of that should be today in the Swiss Federal State Museum in Zurich. A column cylinder found in 1979 near a farmhouse in Dachsleren is also there. Further columns of the first find stand in the Historical Museum in Baden. Two at the Roemerstrasse in Baden.

The mentioned source in the book is interesting "WDrack, Schleinikon, Dachsleren. Grosszelg, Römischer Gutshof. 10. BerZD 1979 – 1982, 219 ff".

Grosszelg is a farm on a slope south of Schleinikon. Thus the roman farm could have been on the hill south of the places Schleinikon and Dachsleren.
