At the end of the 70's, in a small village in central Hungary, a worker found in a quarry a collection of 15 pieces of gold and silver vases dating from the end of Antiquity on which one can read the name: 'Sevso'. Estimated today at more than 200 million pounds, the treasure will be found in a Sotheby's auction twenty-five years later and will be the subject of a fierce battle between three countries that claim its origin. The Odyssey of a Treasure: The Treasure of Sevso will lead us up the trail of a vast network of illicit trafficking in antiquities.
