The adventure
About this quest
What happens when an empire falls? The things that were meant to stay hidden start to move. For four centuries, Augustusās treasure stayed exactly where he put it. But when the borders broke and the roads fell into ruin, the silence broke too. The treasure was stolen, traded, and smuggled across the continent for generations.
It passed through the hands of kings, thieves, and explorers, each of them carrying a piece of a story they didn't fully understand. Eventually, the trail went cold right here in this city. The final custodian left it behind, and they never came back to claim it.
That was centuries ago. Now, a mysterious clue has surfaced. The greatest treasury in history has been waiting here for hundreds of years. Are you the one who finally finishes the hunt?
Is this for you?
Who it's for
Couples, friends and families with older children or teens who would rather play a treasure hunt than follow a guide will enjoy this Roman-themed trail. Over 2.5 km and around 1.5 to 2 hours you follow Augustus's stolen gold past Muzeul Brukenthal, Podul Minciunilor and Casa Hecht to Piata Mare. Anyone wanting a live guide to quiz, or with small children unlikely to manage puzzles and a long walk, should pick something else.
