Tibatto
5th-century Bagaudae leader in Gaul
About Tibatto
Lived 400 – 500. Tibatto was a French.
Tibatto (sometimes spelled Tibaton or Tibattio) is a 5th century Bagaudae leader. The Gallic Chronicle of 452 calls him the leader of the great uprising of the Bagaudae (rebellious farmers, slaves and deserters) that took place between 435 and 437 in Armorica (present-day Brittany and the Loire Valley). This uprising was fought by the Roman general Flavius Aetius.
Under the leadership of Tibatto, the Bagaudae behaved as an independent power; there are indications that they were minting their own coins to underline their rejection of imperial authority. His movement was part of the so-called "Second Bagauden Uprising", which arose from the instability after the Germanic raids and the high tax burden in the crumbling West Roman Empire.
