Tremissis - Leovigildo Rodas

Leovigild's monetary program was one of the most deliberate acts of political self-assertion in early medieval Europe. Before his reign, Visigothic tremisses slavishly imitated contemporary Byzantine issues — a tacit acknowledgment of imperial prestige. Leovigild broke that convention, issuing coins in his own name with his own image, a decision without precedent among Germanic rulers of the period.

The Rhodes mint attribution (Rodas, in modern Girona province) is supported by CNV and Pliego's corpus work, though the actual output of this mint was small. Most surviving examples show this.
