Comments

(en)

"Since Marseille, with its valuable customs revenues, was often divided between several Frankish kings, the use of an imperial name may have been intended to avoid the awkwardness of naming only one among them; it certainly did not imply any temporary re-establishment of imperial authority in southern Gaul." Grierson, p.18

This type of Pseudo Solidus has been issued under the name of many different old Emperors.
