Tremissis

The Tremissis is a gold coin of the Roman Empire, 383 AD (possibly not until 384 AD) of Emperor Magnus Maximus ( 383-388 AD) was first coined. The value of this nominal value was the third part of a solidus. The weight of the Tremissis was set to 1/ 216 of the Roman pound, ie 1.51 g, defined. At the beginning of the 5th century AD, the Tremissis was issued in very large quantities. The issue was made until the collapse of the Western Roman part of the empire in 476 AD These coins were long after the end of the Western Roman Empire in circulation and coins of this name were minted for centuries to come in the Germanic successor states, for example, the rich of the Visigoths, Lombards and Anglo-Saxons.
