The Roumanian Treasures
Roumania, which has attracted interest on account on her apparent efforts to keep out of the great war, Can boast some extremely fine silver treasures.
The various treasures of ancient origin recovered at different times by Roumanian peasants, and which, some years ago, Prince Ghika, Minister of the Interior of that country, took steps to recover and place in the royal collection at Bucharest, constitute an exceedingly interesting exhibit of the goldsmith’s art of the fifth and sixth centuries. On the occasion of the marriage of the hereditary Prince of Vienna, with Princess Pauline of Wurtemberg, the King of Roumania presented the young couple with reproductions of the principal pieces of the treasure.
The part of the treasure that 1s most interesting from an artistic as well as an archeological point of view, is the portion discovered by peasants of Pétrossa, in 1837, while digging in their fields. Ignorant of its value, they were glad to trade it tor some copper utensils with a band of Bohemian gypsies. Two years later a Greek traveler came across one of the articles, recognized its value, and hunting up the possessors, bought all he could of them. Prince Shika was able to round up a great deal of the remainder, but much was irrevocably lost.
The articles turned out to be part of the treasure of Athanaric, a prince of the western Goths, who after fighting three campaigns against the Emperor Galerius was temporarily subdued in 369, and allowed to settle in the country on the banks of the Danube. The Huns drove him out in 380, and it is supposed that the treasure was buried where the peasants found it, in the course of his retreat. It originally included numerous plates and other vessels of gold, set with semi-precious and precious stones, one of the larger dishes being a notably fine specimen of fifth or sixth century goldsmith’s art, valued at about 3.000.000 francs (S600.000). This was repaired and copied for the presentation above mentioned by Berlin goldsmith.
But, as already stated, some of the finest pieces have never been recovered and some are known to have been destroyed by ignorant and unscrupulous people who obtained possession of them. Included in these was a fine necklace with an inscription worn the Goth king.
