Commentary


Ce type, de par son monogramme au droit, se rapproche des deniers frappés à Melle, dans sa région ou à Poitiers. Ce type porte vraisemblablement au revers une pseudo légende rendant toute identification précise particulièrement compliquée.

Historical background


POITIERS - PECTAVIS - CIVITAS PECTAVORUM

(late 7th - early 8th century)

Many denarii from Poitiers have a radiated head, as in Orleans. These denarii were struck at the end of the 7th and the beginning of the 8th century, since they are found in the treasury of Plassac (Gironde) hidden around 710-730. The Merovingian coinage of the Poitevine region is quite diversified, with triens and a wide variety of denarii. The proximity of the silver mines of Melle is certainly no coincidence.
