Résumé
Summary. - Found during the 1992 excavations of the amphitheater of Larino, this hoard contains 20 denars, the value of one Roman ounce. One is a denar of Charlemagne, from Limoges. The other 19 are issues of Louis, King of Aquitaine, from Clermont and the city and cathedral of Bourges. Only 7 coins of Louis were hitherto known. The hoard confirms one of them as authentic. The burial is related to an expedition of Louis against Benevento in 793.
