Additional information

Recaredo I's conversion from Arianism to Nicene Christianity at the Third Council of Toledo in 589 was among the most consequential religious decisions in early medieval Iberian history, and the Emerita mint — modern Mérida — was one of the most active Visigothic production centers precisely because it inherited the full infrastructure of a major Roman provincial capital. Tremisses of this reign from Emerita are better documented than many Visigothic issues, with Pliego's corpus identifying distinct die groupings that allow approximate chronological sequencing within the fifteen-year reign window.
