| Additional information |
The ambiguity in attribution here is deliberate — this Worms denier type spans the reigns of Otto II and Otto III, and decades of scholarship have failed to produce a clean die-break separating the two. Kluge's classification acknowledges the overlap rather than forcing false precision. Worms held imperial mint rights through this period partly due to its strategic position on the Rhine and its role as a frequent site of imperial assembly; Otto III held court there on multiple occasions during his Italian campaigns.
