Since the fall of the Roman Empire, the Frankish kings had always shown a certain deference to the Byzantine Emperor, but Theudebert rejected his status as an inferior leader: for example, he broke imperial custom by minting gold coins containing his own image.

Siden Romerrikets fall hadde de frankiske kongene alltid viset en form for ærbødighet for den bysantinske keiseren, men Teudebert avviste sin status som en underordnet hersker: eksempelvis brøt han den keiserlige skikken ved å prege mynter som hadde hans eget bilde.
