O importantă comoară bizantină din aur a fost descoperită pe o epavă din Croația: monede, rubine, smaralde, perle şi un inel cu sigiliu

A recent discovery near Mljet Island in Croatia revealed a Byzantine shipwreck treasure containing over 600 grams of gold, reshaping maritime trade history. This is the largest gold treasure ever found in the Mediterranean, with artifacts dating from the 2nd century BC to the 16th century AD. The treasure includes coins from the 7th century and ornate belt accessories, suggesting it belonged to a high-ranking official or was a diplomatic gift. This find confirms that luxury trade routes remained active during the Early Middle Ages despite the turmoil in the Eastern Roman Empire.
