Historical background

BRIOUDE - BRIVATE (HAUTE-LOIRE)

(7th - 8th centuries)

All that we know of Brioude for the high times is to be related to the appearance of the cult of Saint Julien. From the 4th century, the martyrdom of Saint Julien, protector of Auvergne, and the pilgrimage to his tomb that followed, gave the town the dimension of a regional religious and political capital. The surprising importance of the Merovingian levels brought to light during the recent planned excavations carried out around the basilica attests to an incessant activity at these times in these places. The number, variety and distribution of monetary issues minted in Brioude, triens and deniers d'argent, the finds of which stretch from present-day Spain to the British Isles are further concrete testimony to the influence of the place.
