Interesting fact
The Tremissis - Erwig (Cordoba) coin from the Visigothic Kingdom is interesting because it features a unique blend of Christian and pagan elements. On one side, it depicts a cross, which symbolizes the Christian faith, while on the other side, it features an image of the Roman goddess Victory, indicating the influence of pre-Christian beliefs and practices in the Visigothic Kingdom. This blending of religious symbols highlights the complex cultural and religious dynamics of the time period.
