Abstract

The archaeological fieldwork carried out in El Tolmo de Minateda (Hellín, Albacete) has made possible to recover the traces of a Visigothic town erected at the end of the 6th century or in the beginning of the 7th century. The numismatic material recovered on levels of use and abandonment in this town is mainly composed by copper coinage from later Roman Empire, and by golden tremisses of low-grade metal coined by the Visigothic kingdom. The stratigraphical contexts of this coins have allowed to raise some questions about the presence and use of the numerary in the Visigothic period.
