Comment
Barbi = AntequeraInteresting fact
The Visigothic Kingdom's Standard circulation coin Tremissis - Sisebuto (Barbi) (612-621) made of Gold weighing 1.3 g is an interesting coin because it was used during a time of great cultural and religious change in Europe. The Visigoths were a Germanic tribe that had conquered much of the Roman Empire and established their own kingdom in what is now modern-day Spain and France. This coin was issued during the reign of King Sisebuto (also known as Barbi), who was known for his military campaigns against the Byzantine Empire and his efforts to convert his people to Christianity. The coin's design features a cross on one side and the king's name and title on the other, reflecting the influence of Christianity on the Visigothic culture. Despite its small size, this coin is a significant artifact of a fascinating period in European history.
