| Additional information |
The tremissis was the workhorse denomination of late antique gold coinage, a one-third solidus that persisted through the collapse of imperial authority in the West and into the hands of successor states and regional powers. Tuscany's Lombard-period issues from this window are notoriously difficult to attribute with confidence — the "torso with ten sections" type sits in a contested space between Byzantine imitative coinage and genuinely autonomous Lombard production, with scholars still divided on whether these pieces reflect a functioning fiscal administration or opportunistic local striking.
