Ce denier est difficilement identifiable ; il ressemble à certains deniers du patrice Nemfidius, mais la légende MASI(LIA) n’y correspond pas. Peu de deniers de Marseille portent cette légende.

Historical background


MEROVINGIAN COINAGE - MARSEILLE (MASSILIA)

(7th - 8th century)

Childeric II abolishes the minting of gold in Gaul in favor of silver coinage. The Marseilles mint struck silver coins after the assassination of Childeric II in 675 and probably until the beginning of the reign of Pepin the Short. The workshop had an important production of which the only treasure of Nice-Cimiez delivered a great variety of types. Five patricians succeeded one another at the head of the city, Ansedertus, Nemfidius, Antenor, Metranus and Abbo. In 736, Provence was attached to the kingdom of France and Charles Martel put an end to the patriciate. No copper production in Marseilles seems attested. For lack of text, the dates of these patrices are not known.
