Marilyn sez, "A dozen identical bracelets shaped like snakes, made 2,000 years ago of pure gold and weighing over 2 pounds each, were discovered in an archaeological site in the Transylvanian area of Romania that was inhabited by the ancient Dacian people who were contemporaries of the Romans. There are no indications that they have ever been worn. They may have been offerings to the Dacians' only god, Zalmoxis. may explain why the hoard rested undisturbed for thousands of years."
