Recently though, there were some very interesting “accessories” up for sale on eBay.  These were not just your typical run of the mill collectibles.  What I came across was information about a listing with an opening bid of over eight million bucks.  A private owner (a museum, I believe) put up the ancient amulet and necklace of a king.  He was the king of the Sarmatians around the time of the Roman Empire.  This Sarmatian King’s gold was part of a large archeological discovery that could provide mountains of new information about a civilization we know very little about.
