New Query

Information
has glosseng: Peter was a Roman usurper of the early sixth century, recorded in two minor sources: the Consularia Caesaraugustana and the Victoris Tunnunnensis Chronicon. He was a "tyrant" (meaning usurper) against the Visigothic rulers of Spain. When the Visigoths captured the city of Dertosa in 506, he was arrested and executed, with his head being sent as a trophy to Zaragoza. Nothing else is known about him, but he seems to be the second Roman (after Burdunellus) to try to usurp legitimate authority in the Ebro valley after the fall of the Western Roman Empire.
