Iron knife

A Roman knife made from iron was discovered by chance near Fischburg castle (Ciastel de Gherdëina in the Ladin language). The weapon or tool was probably lost in the forest. Gröden did not seem to be a particularly attractive area for the Romans, neither from a geographical point of view nor as a prospective settlement. 

Nine late-Roman copper coins

A hoard of coins or money containing half a kilo of Roman coins was buried and hidden shortly before the year 326 in the Constantine era as an emergency. This was discovered in a dry-stone wall by two builders while digging the foundations of the Eurotel on the Alpe di Siusi plateau. Just nine coins remain out of the original coin hoard; the rest are lost.
