The Vix tomb, discovered in 1953 by Maurice Moisson and René Joffroy at the foot of Mount Lassois, remains the one that has revealed the greatest number of Mediterranean importations (Greek and Etruscan). The extraordinary opulence of its contents, dates the tomb from the beginning of the 5th century (around 480 BC). Learn more about this amazing discovery in my novel Realms of Gold.
