| Aanvullende informatie |
Eon ruled Aksum during a period when the kingdom was consolidating its control over trade routes connecting the Roman Mediterranean to the Indian Ocean, and the gold tremissis denomination itself was almost certainly adopted in direct imitation of late Roman coinage to facilitate that commerce. Aksumite gold circulated as far as India and Sri Lanka, where hoards have confirmed its transactional reach well beyond the Horn of Africa.
The BMC Aksum cataloguing by Stuart Munro-Hay remains the principal reference, though SACAM has since refined the die groupings for Eon's issues considerably.
