Interesting fact

The Tremissis - Wamba (Cordoba) coin from the Visigothic Kingdom is interesting because it features a unique blend of Christian and pagan imagery. On one side, it depicts a cross, which symbolizes the Christian faith, while on the other side, it features a image of the goddess Victory, which was a common motif in ancient Roman and Greek coinage. This blending of religious symbols reflects the cultural diversity of the Visigothic Kingdom and its willingness to adopt and incorporate various religious and artistic traditions.
