The camel bone is a special object. The animal lived around 300 AD in the Roman fort of Vemania near Isny in the Allgäu region of Württemberg. Around 5,700 animal bones were found in the Roman fort, including the pelvic fragment of a two-humped camel. The animal was apparently brought back by the equestrian unit “Ala II Valeria Sequanorum”, which had previously been stationed in North Africa. Camels were used as mounts and pack animals in the Roman army. The bone is on display in the permanent exhibition “Legendary Master Pieces” at the Old Castle of the Württemberg State Museum.
