Bagauda (historical figure)

Bagauda refers to a series of popular uprisings in the late Roman Empire, particularly during the 3rd and early 4th centuries CE, in regions like North Africa and the provinces of the Roman Empire. These movements were often led by discontented peasants and marginalized groups who resisted oppressive taxation, economic hardship, and social injustice. The term is also associated with a charismatic leader or figure among these groups. Bagauda highlights the struggles of ordinary people against imperial authority and reflects the societal tensions during a time of decline for the Roman Empire.
