Historical background
MARSEILLE - MASSILIA - ANSEDERTVS
(690-700)
The Marseilles mint struck silver coins after the assassination of Childeric II in 675, and probably until the beginning of the reign of Pepin the Short. The workshop had an important production of which the only treasure of Nice-Cimiez delivered a great variety of types. Five patricians succeeded one another at the head of the city, Ansedertus, Nemfidius, Antenor, Metranus and Abbo. In 736, Provence was attached to the kingdom of the Franks and Charles Martel put an end to the patriciate. For lack of text, the dates of these patrices are not known.
