The treasure was named after the village of Rogozen, Vrachanski, where it was discovered. It was fastened in two cups near each other. One was discovered by accident, the second being archeological excavations at the site of the discovery of the first. The treasure contains 108 fials, 54 kaniches, 1 skiphos, 1 litter and 1 gobele. A century and a half were collected as the vessels date from the beginning of the 4th century to the 4th century. BC Chr. The origin of the vessels is different - Thracian from teliers north of the Balkan Mountains, Odris, Hellenic and Achemenid vessels. The treasure belonged to a dynastic family of Thracian tribals, and its objects were acquired differently, such as prey, trade, and as diplomatic gifts, as evidenced by inscriptions from the Edirne share of the treasure of the rulers Cotis I (383-359 BC), Kerseblept (359-341 BC), etc. It is the predominant opinion of specialists who maintain the hypothesis of ritual burial of the treasure as a ruler ritual practice of the Thracians. Images on the vessels from the Thracian share of the treasure give information about deities, mythological representations and the Orphic faith of the Thracians.
