Tremissis - Recaredo I Tirasona

Recaredo I converted the Visigothic Kingdom from Arianism to Nicene Christianity in 589 at the Third Council of Toledo — a political and ecclesiastical realignment with consequences that outlasted the kingdom itself. Tirasona, the Roman Turiaso, was one of the mints active during his reign in the Ebro valley, a region the Visigoths held with administrative continuity from late Roman infrastructure.

Pliego's cataloguing work has been essential for attributing these tremisses to specific mints, as the legends on Visigothic gold are notoriously difficult to read and many mint attributions remained contested for decades.
