Abstract
Summary. — Of the coins produced in the name of a King Pippin of Aquitaine in the ninth century, only portrait deniers with the legend Aquitaniorum should be attributed to Pippin I; all others are of Pippin II. The latter can only have minted in Aquitaine between 845 and 848, except at Toulouse, where production perhaps continued from 844 to 849. Stylistic considerations permit the attribution to Bordeaux of Pippin II 's Aquitaniorum deniers, his Aquitania oboles and some Christiana religio issues, which were also struck at Dax and above all at Melle. As for the Aquitanian economy under Pippin II, the numismatic evidence reveals the fragmentation of the kingdom and the weakness of royal power.
