Tremissis - Egica Emerita

Egica ruled the Visigothic Kingdom through a period of intense internal fracture — he began his reign forced to share power with his predecessor's son Wamba, a co-regency arrangement he eventually dissolved after engineering heresy charges against his rival. The Emerita mint, modern Mérida, was one of the most active Visigothic gold-issuing centers, its output rooted in the city's deep Roman administrative infrastructure long after imperial authority had dissolved.

Pliego 703 places this emission among a well-documented Emerita sequence, though die-link studies across Egica's coinage reveal considerable variation in flan preparation at this mint specifically.
