Historical background
PSEUDO-IMPERIAL COINAGE
(6th century)
Many triens imitate the type of imperial coins of Justinian I (527-565). Traditionally those with victory in profile are attributed to the Visigoths and Burgundians, those with victory in front of the Ostrogoths. The pseudo-imperial series attributed to the Visigoths are dated 417-507 for Gaul and 507-580 for Spain.
