There is archaeological and metallurgical proof of gold mining in the 'Golden Quadrilateral' of Transylvania because the late Stone Age.

Alburnus Maior become founded by using the Romans at some stage in the guideline of Trajan as a mining town, with Illyrian colonists from South Dalmatia. The earliest reference to the metropolis is on a wax pill dated 6 February 131. Archaeologists have observed within the city historic dwellings, necropolises, mine galleries, mining tools, 25 wax pills and many inscriptions in Greek and Latin, centred around Carpeni Hill. The Romans left Dacia in 271. Mining appears to have started out again inside the Middle Ages by using German migrants the usage of similar strategies to the Romans. This persisted till the devastating wars of the mid-16th century.
