1. Title: Hispanic-Visigothic Triens of Recared I (Caesar Augusta) - A Glimpse into the Economic History of Visigothic Society This photograph showcases a rare and historically significant Hispanic-Visigothic triens coin, issued during the reign of Recared I (Caesar Augusta) in the late 6th century AD. The coin, now held in the Numismatic Cabinet of Catalonia, offers a fascinating glimpse into the economic history of the Visigothic society in Spain. The triens, a gold coin worth three solidi, was a common denomination during the Visigothic period. This particular coin, with its intricate design and inscriptions, bears the image of Recared I on the obverse side, while the reverse side showcases the bust of Saint Martin of Tours, a prominent figure in the Christian world at that time. The Visigothic economy was primarily agrarian, with gold coins like the triens serving as a medium of exchange for trade and commerce. The presence of such coins in numismatic collections today is a testament to the economic and cultural connections between the Visigothic kingdom and other European societies during this period. The Hispanic-Visigothic society, a blend of Roman and Germanic influences, was a complex and dynamic entity. The study of coins like this triens, and the societies that produced them, offers valuable insights into the economic, social, and political aspects of this fascinating period in history. The Numismatic Cabinet of Catalonia, with its extensive collection of coins from various historical periods, is an invaluable resource for scholars, collectors, and anyone interested in the history of money and its role in shaping societies. This photograph, capturing the beauty and historical significance of the Hispanic-Visigothic triens of Recared I, invites us to explore the rich and complex history of the Visigothic kingdom and its place in the broader context of European history.
