Dans le Corpus Nummorum Visigothorum, pour Sisebut avec ce type de buste, les auteurs ne répertorient pas moins de 27 exemplaires avec des combinaisons de légendes différentes, selon que certaines lettres sont rétrogrades ou pas et selon les ponctuations qui peuvent couper les légendes. Cet exemplaire ne semble pas avoir de ponctuation au droit comme au revers.

Historical background


SPAIN - VISIGOTHS - SISEBUT

(612-02/621)

Sisebut was elected king of the Visigoths in 612, after the death of Gundmar. His reign was marked by a Catholic intolerance characterized in particular by a persecution of the Jews. Conqueror, he submitted the Astures and the Vascons. He built up a fairly large fleet which went so far as to besiege Ceuta, then under Byzantine domination. He died assassinated in February 621, probably following a plot fomented by General Suintila.
