There was no Switzerland as a country when Romans invaded the territory... remember, the Roman Empire existed from some hundred years B.C. to about 476 A.D. or something... and Switzerland was founded 1291 A.D.

Romans just wanted to expand their territory... and as they had inner political problems it seemed nice to say the Helvetians (an ancient German tribe) were bloody killers and had to be extinguished... but there is a link, of course... Switzerland's official name in latin is confoederatio helvetica (Swiss or helvetic confederation) pointing to the cultural roots (in some parts) of its nowadays territory.
