1. According to this:
http://science.orf.at/stories/1733435/
The earliest roman camp found at Bregenz/Brigantium (Ölrain) is to be dated to 5 AD according to dendrochronology.
This had been suspected as early on as 1911 and 1913, when wooden buildings with accompanying finds were spotted.
After rebuilding it thoroughly during the reign of Tioberius it had been demolished "as planned" under the reign of Claudius.
Civilian use of the Location followed suit.
2. A while ago it has already been established that the traces of Roman trenches at Ludwigshafen-Rheingönheim which
had preceeded the permanent camp established under Claudius were indeed part of a legionary base of about
24 ha size. (400x600) The traces have been known ever since the Reichslimes-Kommission did a survey, but later
surveys did not much for clearing the actual size and it had been upheld that the camp might have been (only)
11 ha large until the excavations at the site which had started in 2008.

AFAIK they have not come up with more precise dating yet.
