Tremissis - Wittiza Toleto

Wittiza's reign is one of the more contested in Visigothic historiography — later Leonese chronicles, written to legitimize Asturian royal claims, portrayed him as degenerate and corrupt, while earlier sources are considerably more neutral. His Toledo mint continued operating normally throughout his rule, which ended not in deposition but in death, around 710. Within two years, the Umayyad forces crossed the Strait of Gibraltar and dismantled the kingdom entirely, making any Toledo issue from this final reign a product of the last functional years of Visigothic monetary administration.
