Commentary
Argenteus lourd publié par Philippe Schiesser dans Acta numismatica, p. 220 (revers illustré deux fois) et attribué à la période 537-546. L’attribution à Théodebert est proposée, mais indique qu’une attribution à Childebert n’est pas à exclure. Seule la découverte d’un argenteus mieux conservé devrait nous fournir une réponse.
