I watched a video not long ago on Youtube about the recovery of stolen Dacian gold bracelets - though in the video the ones I saw were much too large to be worn - unless they were a race of giants! They are very beautiful. It seems that villagers in the mountains of Transylvania had been digging them up and selling them on the black market. Just thinking about all the artifacts that people dig up and sell makes me sad. I've included the video I watched if you are interested.

That's a great channel. Especially since Bettany Hughes hosts a lot of its programs.
