It was not a common denomination and was last struck c. 89 BC.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref><ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref><ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
Later, in Frankish Gaul, the term "triens" was often used for the tremissis, since both terms meant "a third".
