Looted ancient coins, bracelets returned to Romania

In 2018 gold coins and bracelets from the 1st century were returned to Romania. The items were looted from western Romania and smuggled out of the country. They were put on display after a joint investigation with Austria brought them back home.

The hoard of gold and silver artifacts was presented at Romania's National History Museum.

473 coins and 18 bracelets were taken from archaeological sites in the Orastie Mountains that had been inhabited by Dacians, who fought against the Romans in the early 2nd century.
