Time Team covered the Sevso Treasure on (UK) Channel 4 on December 26, 2008 ("The mystery of the Roman treasure"). Channel 4's website has plenty of useful links including a quiz on "the illegal antiquities trade".
As Channel 4 recommends "Looting Matters" in its list of resources to "Find Out More" here are previous postings on the Sevso Treasure:
Discussion of the archaeological ethics surrounding the collecting of antiquities and archaeological material.

Thank you for the link.
It's very interesting to read about the Seuso treasure here in Hungary.
Unfortunately I rather sceptical that these finds will be ever returned to our country.
I will not be surprised if in ten years we will see them in a new museum in some Gulf country, and still it would not be worst possibility....
