Egica ruled during one of the most fractious periods of Visigothic administration, sharing power briefly with his son Wittiza from around 698 and dealing with the fallout of a major conspiracy uncovered in 693 — the Council of Toledo XVI condemned a broad faction, including much of the Hispano-Roman aristocracy, for allegedly plotting with North African forces against the crown. Narbonne, the northernmost significant Visigothic mint, sat across the Pyrenees in Septimania, a region the kingdom held with increasing difficulty.
Tremisses from the Narbonne mint in this reign are notably scarce against Toledan output.
