Commentary


Dans le Corpus Nummorum Visigothorum, quatre types sont distingués sous l'atelier de Tolède pour Svinthila ; la légende du revers ne varie pas, mais le nom du roi varie avec l'inversion des lettres IH et I ou par l'oubli du X de REX qui est aussi remplacé par une croisette. Cet exemplaire correspond au premier type, le plus classique et celui qui est illustré. L’exemplaire du MEC a la particularité d'avoir l'O plein.

Historical background


SPAIN - VISIGOTHS - SUINTILA

(00/03/621-26/03/631)

Suintila was proclaimed king of the Visigoths in March 621. He succeeded Récarède II. During his reign, he submitted the Vascons and built Oligitis (today Olite in Navarre); in 624, he expelled the last Byzantines from the Iberian Peninsula, some bastions of which remained in the Algarve. On March 26, 631, he was dethroned by Sisenand, governor of Gaul of the Goths. He died in 640, in Toledo.
