<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Tejas, post: 8094129, member: 84905&quot;]Austrasia was the eastern part of the Merovingian and later Carolingian Empires. Austrasia included parts of modern Germany and the Low Countries. The counterpart in the west was called Neustria.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here is a very interesting and excessively rare Dekanummi of Theodebert I (534-48). The only other Merovingian Deka was sold in the Ratto auction (famous catalog) in the 1930s.</p><p><br /></p><p>The coin was minted at Marseille possibly to tie into the Ostrogothic dekanummi, which were the only other dekanummi around in the west. In fact, it is possible, that the monogram is not that of Theodebert, but of Amalaric.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1406931[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
