Abstract

Bebricius is the name of a Roman soldier from Calagurris who purportedly committed suicide after the death of Sertorius, and who has today a street and a sculpture in Calahorra dedicated to him. This paper explores the epigraphic origin of this false legend, its diffusion in the bibliography from the 16th to the 20th century, and its fleeting appearance in the field of literature, as a character in John Bancroft’s play The Tragedy of Sertorius (1679).
