9. Rouchomovski's Tiara of Saitaphernes
Debate over the authenticity of a massive gold crown known as the Tiara of Saitaphernes divided Paris in 1896. It was supposedly a gift from Olbia, a Greek colony on the Black Sea coast, to the 3rd-century B.C. Scythian king Saitaphernes. Russian art dealer Schapschelle Hochmann's tale was that it was found at Olbia, near Odessa in present-day Ukraine. An inscription on it even matched one on the ancient city walls there. But it later became clear that the tiara's new owner, the Louvre, had not performed adequate research into its origins before buying.
