The Rogozen treasure was discovered in 1986. It contains a significant amount of silverware, with the largest share of it being phiales – 108 pcs. Each one is unique and has its own individual style. They vary in shape, size and engravings. Archaeologists say the craftsmen who made them used various technologies and skills. The phiales were made within approximately 100 years, and they do not all come from the same region.
Griffons are fairy-tale creatures with the body of a lion and the head and wings of an eagle. They are said to be Zeus’ guard dogs and symbolize vigilance, strength, regality, courage and purity. They embody the retribution awaiting anyone who commits a crime.
Almost all of the Rogozen treasure is currently in the History Museum of Vratsa, where it is kept under special conditions.
