In 1950, a gold necklace was found by a local grave digger in the site called La Valleta del Valero, about 15km south-west of Llei da (Catalonia). The necklace deserved little attention in scientific literature; it has been repeatedly dated to 3nd–2nd centuries BC and related to Hellenistic influences in Spanish Iron Age luxury metalwork. The necklace finds its closest analogies in a small group of gold artefacts found in Central and Eastern Europe and dating to the first half of the 5th century AD. Traces of almost identical necklaces with pin-shaped pendants have been found at Hochfelden (Lower Rhine, France), Untersiebenbrunn (Lower Austria), Kerč’ (Crimea, Ukraine), Bakodpuszta (county Bács-Kiskun, Hungary) and Biron (Charente-Maritime, France). The find from Valleta del Valero apperas to be one of the keys to the evaluation of the significance of the occurence of necklaces with pin-shaped pendants in such territories. Both its geographical location — in still Roman Tarraconensis — and its morphology show it to be a link between Untersiebenbrunn-Gospital’naja type necklaces and late Roman metalwork, posing a number of questions about production, distribution and symbolic value of luxury necklaces around the Mediterrane an basis and the barbarian world
