Commentary
L’épigraphie de ce denier est intéressante, avec une légende dégénérée. La légende CA-BIL-ON-NO semble aussi avoir été ré-interprétée au revers, avec des lettres manquantes.
Malheureusement, il semble difficile de restituer le nom du monétaire à partir de la légende du droit.
The epigraphy of this denarius is interesting, with a degenerate legend. The legend CA-BIL-ON-NO also seems to have been reinterpreted on the reverse, with missing letters. Unfortunately, it seems difficult to reconstruct the name of the coin from the legend on the obverse.

Historical background
CHALON-SUR-SAÔNE (CABILONNUM) - Saône-et-Loire
(7th century)
The Burgundian kingdom was annexed to the Frankish kingdom after the victory of Autun in 534. Burgundy has an independent monarch until 613 at the death of Thierry II. After the assassination of Sigebert II in 613 by Clotaire II, Burgundy was incorporated into the kingdom of Neustria. Saint-Léger, bishop of Autun (616-678), was mayor of the Palace. The royal government is ensured by the palace which is more an institution than a place. There are three capitals: Paris (Neustria), Metz (Austrasia) and Chalon-sur-Saône (Burgundy). There is still a palace that continues to function after Clotaire II restored unity. The palace is a symbol of the autonomy of the kingdom. Clotaire II governs from Paris but there is still a palace in Metz and Chalon. The gold coinage of Chalon-sur-Saône was certainly the most abundant of the Merovingian period..
