Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Tremissis coin is that it features the names of both Egica and Wittiza, who were co-rulers of the Visigothic Kingdom during their reign from 698 to 702 AD. This is notable because it highlights the unique political situation of the kingdom at the time, where two kings ruled together, and it also reflects the importance of their cooperation in maintaining the kingdom's stability and prosperity.
