Tremissis - Wittiza Egitania

Wittiza's reign is one of the more contested in Visigothic historiography — later Castilian chronicles, written centuries after the Muslim conquest, systematically blackened his reputation to justify the political legitimacy of his rivals. Egitania, modern Idanha-a-Velha in Portugal, was a minor diocesan mint that struck sporadically across several reigns. CNV 614 and Pliego 785a represent a well-documented type for this mint under Wittiza, though surviving examples remain scarce given that his entire reign concluded just two years before the Umayyad invasion effectively ended Visigothic coinage altogether.
