Commentary


Traditionnellement, ces deniers avec l’E croiseté au revers sont attribués à Paris, mais sans argument convaincant. Les analyses métalliques tendraient à prouver que ces monnaies ont été frappées avec de l’argent de Melle... et qu’elles proviendraient plutôt d’un atelier local. L’E croisetée serait alors une M croisetée.

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.
