Commentary


Cette légende LVG assure l’attribution à Lyon. Les deniers épiscopaux de Lyon sont relativement rares, mais très variés. Jean Lafaurie attribue ces deniers à l’évêque Godinus (vers 688-701) en raison du G rétrograde rattaché à l’un des bras de la croix du revers.
This LVG legend ensures the attribution to Lyon. Episcopal deniers from Lyon are relatively rare, but very varied. Jean Lafaurie attributes these deniers to Bishop Godinus (circa 688-701) because of the retrograde G attached to one of the arms of the cross on the reverse.

Historical background


LYON (LUGDUNUM)

(7th-8th centuries)

The Merovingian coinage of Lyon is broken down into Roman imitations, triens of Frankish kings, coins and a large series of triens "struck in Forez and Vivarais during the Saracen occupation" (divided into three groups). With regard to money, a denarius is in the name of Rognoaldus otherwise, all denarii are episcopal. These denarii are characterized by the legend LV(G) and a cross confined to the letters EPS.
