Commentary


Traditionnellement, ces deniers avec l’E croiseté au revers sont attribués à Paris, le BRO-INO associé au E donnerait Ebroino et serait des monnaies du maire du Palais, Ebroin. Ce prénom est toutefois assez commun. Il faut certainement rattacher cette monnaie au groupe à l’E croiseté de la région de Melle (Deux-Sèvres). Un rare denier avec le même revers est connu depuis le XIXe siècle (Belfort 3460), mais présente au droit un buste à droite avec la légende RODEMARVS.
Traditionally, these deniers with the crossed E on the reverse are attributed to Paris, the BRO-INO associated with the E would give Ebroino and would be coins of the mayor of the Palace, Ebroin. This first name is however quite common. This coin must certainly be linked to the group with the crossed E from the region of Melle (Deux-Sèvres). A rare denier with the same reverse is known since the 19th century (Belfort 3460), but presents on the obverse a bust to the obverse with the legend RODEMARVS

Historical background


POITOU - METALUS VICUS - MELLE (Deux-Sevres)

(late 7th - 8th centuries)

The Melle workshop, in the south-east of Deux-Sèvres, was important in the Carolingian period and seems to have been in operation from the Merovingian period. The silver-lead mines are still accessible and can be visited by a wide public.
