Commentary


Cet exemplaire correspond au n° 4636 du Belfort, et est probablement issu du même coin de revers. Le droit est très légèrement différent mais porte la même légende.
Au Ve siècle, le nom d'Uzerche aurait été Vserca ; l'origine du nom (dérivé de la Vézère, Visera) en fait un toponyme très original, qui n'a jamais été proposé pour une autre localité. Le triens d'VSERCA n° 4634 du Belfort porte quant à lui les lettres LEMO dans le champ autour de la croix, ce qui renvoie certainement à un lieu de frappe situé dans le cadre territorial de la province dont Limoge est la capitale (LEMOVICAS CIVI). Les monétaires attestés pour Uzerche sont au nombre de neuf ; VRSO, LEODO, MAVRVS, BASILIANVS, BASELIANVS, NVNNOLVS, GANDILLON, MANXIO et BAVDECHI(...). Notre monétaire et BASILIANVS sont peut-être une seule et même personne. Concernant le dernier monétaire dont la légende est incomplète, J. Tixier fait remarquer dans son article que BAVDEGISELVS apparaît sur un triens de Saint-Yrieix en Haute-Vienne et BAVDIGISILVS sur une autre monnaie de Sardent, en Creuse.
This example corresponds to No. 4636 of Belfort, and probably comes from the same reverse die. The obverse is very slightly different but bears the same legend. In the 5th century, the name of Uzerche would have been Vserca; the origin of the name (derived from the Vézère, Visera) makes it a very original toponym, which has never been proposed for another locality. The triens of VSERCA No. 4634 of Belfort bears the letters LEMO in the field around the cross, which certainly refers to a minting place located within the territorial framework of the province of which Limoge is the capital (LEMOVICAS CIVI). The attested coins for Uzerche are nine in number: VRSO, LEODO, MAVRVS, BASILIANVS, BASELIANVS, NVNNOLVS, GANDILLON, MANXIO and BAVDECHI(...). Our mint and BASILIANVS are perhaps one and the same person. Concerning the last mint whose legend is incomplete, J. Tixier points out in his article that BAVDEGISELVS appears on a triens from Saint-Yrieix in Haute-Vienne and BAVDIGISILVS on another coin from Sardent, in Creuse

Historical background


UZERCHE (VSERCA)

(7th - 8th century)

The origins of Uzerche are discussed: some archaeologists recognize there the site of Uxellodunum or Usercodunum, the last oppidum of the Gallic defense in its fight against Caesar. But it is more certainly Puy d'Issolud in Quercy. During the barbarian invasions, Uzerche was ravaged by the Visigoths around 480. in the Merovingian period, Uzerche was attached, like all this province, to Aquitaine; it was conquered in 507 by one of the sons of Clovis, Thierry I, who became king of Austrasia on the death of his father in the year 511. Aquitaine will remain in the Austrasian fold until the beginning of the 7th century, when it will break away from it to belong sometimes to the kingdom of Neustria, sometimes falling under the prerogative of this or that member of the royal family.. It will even become an autonomous nation around 670, before being taken over by the Franks a little less than a century later.. Around 760, Pepin the Short who was fighting the last descendants of the Merovingians chose Uzerche as a center of resistance. He built among the ruins that could still be seen there, a fortress flanked by 18 towers, a church and a royal residence on the current site of the school and the church.. Under Charlemagne, several times his son Louis le Débonnaire stayed in Uzerche.
