Description The merchant Sámo. Unifier of the Slavic tribes, conqueror of the Avars, ruler of the Samian Empire. And also a garnet magnate. Join us in a new episode of our podcast to discover the story of Bohemian garnet, the red mineral that adorned the jewellery of wealthy families across Europe in the 6th and 7th centuries. Together with archaeologist Jiří Macháček and art historian Ivan Foletti, we will reflect, among other things, on what the story of these jewels tells us about the functioning of the European market in the period when the first state unit was being formed on our territory.
