According to Dupony, the first document mentioning variola was in 570 A.D., by Marius, a scholar of Avenches, in Switzerland.
Yet its breezy upland plains and its quiet villages some of them once populous and prosperous towns are not devoid of charm, or of the interest connected with historical epochs and famous names. The "lone wall" and "lonelier column" at Avenches date from the period when this was the Roman capital of Helvetia.
Perhaps few passages of descriptive poetry excel that in which reference is made to the column of Avenches, the ancient Aventicum. It combines with an image distinct and picturesque, poetical associations full of the grave and moral breathings of olden forms and hoary antiquity.
