Interesting fact
The Visigothic Kingdom's Tremissis - Sisebuto (Cordoba) coin, made of gold and weighing 1.49g, is an interesting piece of history. One fascinating fact about this coin is that it features an inscription of the king's name, Sisebuto, in the Latin alphabet, which was a unique characteristic of Visigothic coins during that time period. This shows how the Visigoths, who were known for their Germanic roots, adopted and adapted elements of the Roman culture they encountered during their conquests.
