Priscus Attalus was a
praefectus urbi
who was appointed emperor by Alaric in 409 in an attempt to strengthen the Visigothic bargaining power in their negotiations with Honorius in Ravenna. However, the usurper was disposed by the Goths in 410 when he refused to wage war against the comes Heraclianus in Africa, who cut of Rome from grain supply. A few years later, Priscus was once again put on the throne by Alaric's successor Athaulf, but his luck run out in 416, when he was handed out to Honorius, who had two of his fingers cut of and exiled him to the Aeolian Islands.
