Produced during the collapse of Roman administrative authority in the West, these tremisses were struck by Germanic groups — most likely Visigoths or a related Danubian confederacy — who continued invoking Theodosius II's name decades after his death in 450. The practice was deliberate: Roman imperial titulature still commanded commercial credibility across trade networks that had no interest in acknowledging new political realities. Theodosius II himself never authorized a single one of them.
