| Additional information |
The "long head" tremisses occupy a genuinely awkward corner of early medieval numismatics — they circulated across the fragmenting Western territories during a period when no single Germanic authority fully controlled a mint, and attributing them to a specific tribe or region remains contested. The MEC I comparandum at 374 provides a loose anchor, but the series likely represents output from multiple workshops imitating late Roman prototypes with increasing stylistic drift.
The absence of an Arslan number here is telling — these pieces fall into the gaps between established series precisely because no issuing authority is confirmed.
