 | | The earliest known inhabitants that are mentioned in written sources were a people, probably of Celtic extraction, participating in the widespread La Tene culture, whom the Romans subdued just before the opening of the Christian era, founding colonies among them and including their land in the provinces of Raetia and Noricum. |
 | | Archaeological evidence does not point to the arrival of just a single group; remains of Alamanni,, Juthungians, Elbians, Marcomanni, Danubian Suebians, Skirians, Rugians, Thuringians, Lombards, Goths, and other Germanic and Eastern peoples are found dating from the 5th and 6th centuries in this land. |
 | | In 488 the Romans living in Raetia and Noricum were ordered by their authorities to vacate. |
