| Additional information |
Banassac, in the Lozère, operated as one of a network of Merovingian minting sites whose tremisses were issued under named moneyers rather than royal authority — a distinctly Frankish arrangement that left the identity of the actual political overlord deliberately ambiguous. Gavaletano is among the better-documented Banassac moneyers, appearing across multiple die pairings catalogued by Belfort, which suggests a sustained tenure rather than a single brief emission.
The site itself, identified with the Gallo-Roman settlement of Anderitum, has yielded archaeological evidence of continuous precious-metal working across this period.
