Commentary
Frappé sur un tout petit flan épais, ce triens correspond au B. 3675 de la coll. Rousseau. Dans ses travaux sur les monnayages mérovingiens armoricains, B. Leroy recense un triens du même type sous le n° 126 (classé en Phase IIa et daté de c. 590-610) ; ce dernier provient de la vente Furstenberg, 14 décembre 1932, lot n° 1047 et est maintenant conservé en collection privée.
Le Moneta ne recense que ces deux triens pour ce monétaire, en les attribuant à Saint-Même-le-Tenu (Loire-Atlantique).

Historical background
PORTO VEDIRI - PORT-SAINT-PERE (LOIRE ATLANTIQUE)
(6th - 7th century)
In a communication, Mr. Longnon gives his opinion that Porto Vediri or Veteri seems to him to be the same place as Portus Vetraria mentioned in a diploma of Sigebert II. Of the two forms Porto Veteri and Porto Vidrari, it is likely that the second is the oldest. Mr. Longnon identified Portus Vetraria with Port-Saint-Père, relying on the fact that Portus Vetraria, in the quoted diploma, is said to be "super fluvio Taunuco" and that Port Saint-Père is on the Tenu, otherwise says the Achenau, a tributary of the Loire. Port-Saint-Père is located near Lake Grand-Lieu, 25 km south-west of Nantes and 30 km east of Pornic. The name of Port-Saint-Père comes from the Latin Portus Sancti Petri: Port of Saint Pierre.
