Comment
Calapa or Calapax = CalaborInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the Tremissis - Gundemaro (Calapa) coin is that it features the first known depiction of a king on a Visigothic coin, with Gundemaro's name and title inscribed on the reverse side. This coin marks a significant shift in Visigothic coinage, as previous coins had featured generic designs and did not include the name of the ruling king.
