Abstract

A Carolingian coin has recently been acquired by the Centre Charlemagne in Aachen which represents an entirely unexpected and truly historic addition to our knowledge of the reign of Charlemagne, as it bears the name of his wife Fastrada. It is the first known example of a queen being named on a Carolingian coin, and because the coin type was only introduced in 793 and Fastrada died in August 794, it can be very precisely dated. Charles was almost certainly prompted to strike it by learning of pennies of Cynethryth minted by Offa in the late 780s. The coinage reflects both the affection in which Charlemagne held Fastrada and the power he was prepared to share with her.

一枚法斯特拉达女王和查理曼大帝的硬币

亚琛的查理曼中心最近获得了一枚加洛林硬币，这是我们对查理曼统治时期的一个完全出乎意料的、真正具有历史意义的补充，因为它的名字是他的妻子法斯特拉达。这是已知的第一个在加洛林硬币上命名女王的例子，由于该硬币类型在793年才引入，法斯特拉达于794年8月去世，因此可以非常精确地确定其年代。几乎可以肯定的是，查尔斯是在得知奥法在20世纪80年代末铸造的Cynethryth便士后才动手的。铸币既反映了查理曼对法斯特拉达的爱戴，也反映了他准备与法斯特拉达分享的权力。
