Tremissis - Recaredo I Caesaraugusta

Recaredo I's conversion from Arianism to Nicene Christianity at the Third Council of Toledo in 589 was among the most consequential religious-political shifts in early medieval Iberia, and the coinage issued from Caesaraugusta (Zaragoza) during his reign reflects a mint operating under a dramatically reorganized ecclesiastical and administrative order. The Visigothic tremissis from this mint is struck on a relatively broad, thin flan consistent with production norms inherited from late Roman imperial practice — a continuity the Visigoths deliberately maintained to ease monetary exchange with Byzantine-influenced territories.

Pliego 70 places this type within a tightly defined group attributable to the Caesaraugusta mint on the basis of die-link analysis and fabric.
