Kempraten

settlement · 30 BC – 1999 AD

Archaeological remains of a Roman vicus have been discovered at modern Kempraten, which is located on the eastern shore of Lake Zurich in Switzerland's St. Gallen canton. Ninth-century CE and later sources provide Latin name variants that scholars think indicate the name of the community in the Roman period may have been "Centum Prata", but no contemporary Roman texts have yet been identified that transmit this name.
