For reference, the distribution of 8th-E9thC Islamic gold & bronze coins in Western Europe, incl this find :)pic.twitter.com/CEMHgQAfzQ
The 8thC fulus and dinars from Anglo-Saxon England are interesting, esp as prob at least two imitation dinars minted in L8/E9thC England...
There's obviously the Offa dinar, but also this second one (?Coenwulf of Mercia, 796-821) too that also prob English:pic.twitter.com/WX2ovtGAYR
@caitlinrgreen A lot of names with 'wulf''. What does it mean?
@caitlinrgreen: @JAJafri "wulf" is Old English for wolf---Coenwulf is thus "bold/fierce wolf" :)
@caitlinrgreen @JAJafri Used to visit Wolverton nr. M. Keynes many yrs ago. Poss. Wulfstan's place rather than 'settlement of the wolves?
@Harry_cartoons @caitlinrgreen What about Wolverhampton? (First time I went there was by mistake--caught the wrong train from Birmingham!)
@JAJafri @Harry_cartoons "the high settlement belonging to Wulfrun"--she was 10thC owner who established monastery here in 996
@caitlinrgreen @JAJafri I have Kenneth Cameron's English Place-Names on my bkshelf. Still reliable, or has research moved forward yet again?
@Harry_cartoons @JAJafri The 1996 edition is fairly up-to-date, though not wholly; original is outdated but has gems in :-)
