Today we are talking about treasures and not just any kind of treasures, but about Dacian treasures. Our colleague Dr. Răzvan Mateescu tells us the story of Decebal's treasure, where it was hidden and what value it had, as it appears from ancient texts. It seems that Trajan captured from Dacia one of the greatest treasures of antiquity, amounting to approximately 165 tons of gold and double the amount of silver. Dr. Agnes Găzdac tells us about the well-known "Koson" gold coins, of which our museum owns 26 pieces, and Dr. Cristian Găzdac tells us about the mirage of treasures and about a spectacular discovery of 40000 gold coins in a cave in the area of the Dacian fortresses.
