Commentary
La monnaie B. 3678 a ce même avers, mais associé à un revers différent pour le monétaire MAGNVLFVS. Revers sans équivalent avec ce type et cette légende. Le Moneta ne signale qu’un seul exemplaire à la victoire (sic), sous le type 3-2B 1. Ce dernier est indiqué avoir été trouvé vers Nantes et publié en 1917 par Dieudonné ; il est probable probable qu’il s’agisse de cet exemplaire ! Pour le seul autre type de triens attribué à Provins, pour le monétaire MAGNVLFVS (13-2A 2), ce sont 10 exemplaires qui ont été étudiés.
Historical background
PROVINS (PREVUNDA SILVA) - Seine-et-Marne
(6th century)
The name of the locality is attested in the forms Pre(vu)nda silva (implied sylva, or "forest", to evoke a "deep, thick forest"), Castris pruvenis in the 9th century ("Castle of Profunda") . Indeed, it seems that the name Provins comes from the Latin word profundis (deep, thick). In the year 485 and after his victory at Soissons, Clovis seized the Roman castrum of Provins. Already showing a certain importance, from the beginning of the 9th century, Charlemagne sent his missi dominici there. Another proof of a major role: Provins strikes its own coin (the denier provinois)..
