Commentary
Le classement du monnayage d’argent de Rouen semble encore à revoir... Si ce type de droit est bien attesté (cf. B. 3845-3846, 3852-3854) aucune monnaie du Belfort ou du Moneta ne correspond à notre denier avec ces types et ces légendes !
Si la légende de revers ROTOMOT C ne laisse aucun doute sur l’attribution, celle du revers vient la compléter avec ECLISIA (S rétrograde) pour l’Église de Rouen
.
The classification of the silver coinage of Rouen still seems to need to be reviewed... If this type of right is well attested (cf. B. 3845-3846, 3852-3854) no coin from Belfort or Moneta corresponds to our denarius with these types and these legends! If the reverse legend ROTOMOT C leaves no doubt about the attribution, that of the reverse completes it with ECLISIA (retrograde S) for the Church of Rouen

Historical background
ROUEN (ROTOMO CIVITAS) - (Seine-Maritime)
(7th century)
Former city of the Veliocasses, Rotomagus developed in Roman times and became the metropolis of Lyonnaise II at the end of the 4th century. Rouen struck various triens, and several types of deniers with a rose on the reverse and presenting a head of profile on the reverse or an A topped with a cross. The specimens with a rose and the face head seem to have been struck in the Rouen region. These three types are found in the treasure of Plassac (Gironde) hidden around 710-730.
