Commentary


Sur les trois exemplaires répertoriés par Georges Depeyrot, deux proviennent du trésor de Fécamp. Avec cinq points séparant la légende de revers et avec la légende longue au droit, ce type est à comparer au n° 8359 de ce trésor, mais il est issu de coins différents.

Historical background


LOTHAIR

(09/12/954-03/02/986)

From 954, Lothaire ceded Aquitaine to Hugh the Great and tried to fight against the rise of feudalism. He ends up falling out with Hugh Capet (duke 956-987, king 987-996), son of Hugh the Great, because he is more powerful than his suzerain. At the beginning of the reign of Louis IV (936-954), a new monetary reform would have changed the size of the denarii to 360 coins per pound of 18 ounces.
