== History == thumb|left|Bracelets of Sacoșu Mare treasure on display at the National History Museum of Romania In the autumn of 1960, in the Sacoșu Mare area, a local resident accidentally unearthed an Iron Age hoard, attributed to the Hallstatt period (the First Iron Age) and contemporaneous with the presence of the Dacians on the territory of present-day Romania. The hoard comprises 25 gold ingots, jewelry, and wire-ingots, and is currently housed at the National Museum of History in Bucharest.
