Abstract
A denarius of Charlemagne has occupied coin scholars of the most various periods without its design, place and date of striking ever being finally explained. Its legend names, besides the title REX FR, also the king of the Lombards and the patricius Romanorum, and is thereby so long that it takes up the place of the reverse legend. The obverse carries Charlemagne's monogram, the reverse a second one which has been resolved as Roma and, earlier, as Ravenna and S. Marcus; Gariel saw in it Adrianus Papa, while Prou held its value undetermined and thereby rejected every reading. Engel and Serrure discarded Ravenna and S. Marcus, preferred Adrianus Papa, and took the unusual title as proof that the denarius was struck at Rome.
