Modern Switzerland covers an area where in antiquity there were two separate regions.

The Helvetii lived in one of these regions (most of the plateau of Switzerland. There is no record of when they were conquered. They fought to support the Gauls in the Battle of Alesia (the final defeat of the Gauls by Julius Caesar) in 52 BC. After this there was no mention of them until 68 AD. When Augustus created the Roman province of Germania in 28-23 BC the territory of the Helvetii were part of this province.

The other region was Rhaetia (central and eastern Switzerland and part of southern Germany and eastern Austria. Rhaetia was conquered in 15 BC.

the year of 4 Emperors AD 61

Switzerland was invaded before the Year of the Four Emperors, which was in 69 AD, not 61 AD. Moreover, in the areas now covered by Switzerland there were two distinct and separate regions.

One was Rhaetia, which covered central and eastern Switzerland, eastern Austria and part of southern Germany. Rhaetia was subdued by two of Augustus' generals (Tiberius and Drusus) in 15 BC.

The other area, which covered most of the Swiss plateau, was inhabited by the Helvetii. Julius Caesar defeated them when they tried to invade Gaul at the beginning of his Gallic Wars. He sent them back to their lands and did not conquer them. The Helvetii also fought in the Gaul's last big battle against Caesar to support them (the battle of Alesia in 52 BC). After that there was no mention of them until 68 BC. Julius Caesar did not say that he conquered the Helvetii. It is known that Augustus took over the Roman provinces between 27 and 23 AD. One of them was Upper Germania, which included the land of the Helvetii (and Rhaetia). Therefore, the Helvetii must have been conquered after the Gallic War and before 27-23 AD.

I think the Romans invaded Switzerland in 15 BC.
58 BC, at the Battle of Bibracte, under Julius Caesar.
