All this made the new emperor gravely unpopular , and on January 15 69 , Marcus Salvius Otho was proclaimed Emperor in his place .

It specifically controlled the Col de l ' Echelle , the Col des Thures and the Col des Acles . The rectangular walled fort extends over an area of about . The construction of Fort Chaberton on an even higher peak on the Italian side of the frontier rendered the Fort de l ' Olive vulnerable to artillery from Chaberton , which was higher . The position was used by the French Army in the defense of Briançon until 1940 , when it was part of the Fortified Sector of the Dauphiné . The fort took artillery fire from Chaberton during the Italian invasion of France in 1940 . The Fort de l ' Olive was armed in the 1880s with 14 120mm guns . It was initially linked to the Fort de l ' Infernet by optical telegraph , and later by telephone . A cableway provided a means of resupply from the valley below , particularly in the winter when road access was difficult . The Batterie du Lenlon was a subsidiary position , as was the Batterie du Sapey . The fort was modernized in the 1930s with an infantry shelter or " abri " , known derisively as the Fort des Nuages ( fort of the clouds ) , which was equipped with two casemates for guns . While being fired on by Chaberton in June 1940 , the Fort de l ' Olive in turn fired on the Italian fort Jaffereau in Bardonecchia . The site is presently abandoned but in good condition , and is freely accessible . External links . Le fort de l ' Olive http : / / fortiffsere . fr / briancon / index _ fichiers / Page358 . htm
