Talk:Carolingian cross

Potential?
I doubt this has the potential for a full article. Googling "Carolingian cross" or "Karolingisches Kreuz", I do not find references to this emblem. Rather, the term describes any cross thought to date from the Carolingian period. An exception would be this (dated 2012, no context, no references, basically a one-line entry under this book's section on "Triquetra"). --dab (𒁳) 07:50, 10 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Merge per nom. A lot of the article discusses triquetra in general, or the iconography of specific symbols used in these type of crosses. Ceoil  (talk) 10:49, 23 October 2020 (UTC)
 * If no other comments, will be bold and merge in a few days. Ceoil  (talk) 07:08, 1 November 2020 (UTC)

I have written this up as a full article, and as such, it should not be merged with the triquetra stub. I would like this article to be assessed, please. This article is good enough for a standalone piece. Radical Contrarian (talk) 10:46, 15 December 2020 (UTC)

Dating & Name
The triquetra cross certainly predates the 9th century, as it appears on Celtic-influenced Anglo-Saxon coins of the 8th: https://www.spink.com/lot/21000000297 (see also: Abramson, Sceatta List 3rd Ed. pp. 345-349; Spink 2021)

Thus, referring to it as "Carolingian," even if Rudolf Koch identified it as such, seems inaccurate. I propose that the article be renamed to "Triquetra cross" and the revised dating be included. 74.78.200.109 (talk) 15:48, 25 July 2022 (UTC)
