A coin hoard from the time of the first Crusade, found in the Near East (With remarks by Marc Bompaire and with contributions by Peter Northover and D. Michael Metcalf)

摘要

Summary. — The authors will describe 624 coins - with one exception all of them French feudal deniers - that were found in 2000 in the Middle-East. They will examine their meaning for the numismatics of the Crusades. Assuming that the hoard dates from the First Crusade, the authors will, amongst other things, investigate the question whether and to what extent the account of the contemporary chronicler Raymond ď Aguilers about the « official » Crusader's money can be confirmed.
