Raetia was a Roman imperial province located in what is now Switzerland, Tyrol, and southern Germany, positioned along the upper Danube River. It is historically significant as part of the Roman Empire's territorial organization during the 2nd century AD, though it notably had no legions stationed there during Emperor Hadrian's reign around 125 AD.
