Commentary
En raison du nom du monétaire ARINOBERTO, ce type monétaire peut-être rapproché de la région de Poitiers. De nombreux exemplaire avec un grand E oncial ont été frappé en Poitou et certainement en abondance vers Melle et ses environs.
Due to the name of the minter ARINOBERTO, this coin type can be associated with the Poitiers region. Many examples with a large uncial E were struck in Poitou and certainly in abundance around Melle and its surroundings.

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.
