| Description: | Dans cet article, nous réévaluons le rôle de la monnaie d’argent en Gaule aux Ve et VIe siècles, en remettant en question l’idée de sa disparition après la période romaine. À partir de l’étude d’environ 900 monnaies, nous montrons que l’argent a continué à être produit et utilisé, selon de nouvelles techniques telles que le transfert de coin, le martelage et l’usage de poinçons. Ces évolutions techniques et typologiques reflètent des transformations politiques et culturelles plus larges, apportant un éclairage nouveau sur les pratiques économiques post-romaines et la chronologie archéologique. In this article, we reassess the role of silver coinage in 5th–6th century Gaul, challenging the notion of its disappearance after the Roman period. Based on the study of around 900 coins, we show that silver continued to be produced and used, though with new techniques such as die transfer, hammering, and punching. These technical and typological changes reflect broader political and cultural transformations, shedding new light on post-Roman economic practices and archaeological chronology. |
