Historical Context: This Tremissis was issued by the Duchy of Tuscany during the Lombard Kingdom's rule in Italy (672-700 AD). This era reflects a period of consolidation and increasing autonomy for Lombard duchies, following their 6th-century conquest. Lombardic coinage, initially imitating Byzantine issues, progressively developed distinct regional characteristics.
