What if Burdunellus maintained his supporters and was not executed by the Visigoths?

Burdenuellus
496 - 515
496 - 515
In 496 Burdenuellus, a Roman usurper, was being threatened with abandoned by his supporters until he managed to convince the leaders of the opposition to maintain their support for him. However, by September another threat against Burdenuellus rose up when 400 peasants lead by a failed Visigothic merchant forced Burdenuellus and 200 light infantry into the marketplace. Burdenuellus would have been overran by the peasants if the other Visigothic merchants hadn't brought 600 mercenaries to aid him as the merchant leading the revolt held numerous debts with them. Following the failure of the revolt Burdenuellus framed and executed half of the leaders of his opposition for aiding the revolt due to minor trading interactions with the failed merchant.
For saving him from the revolt, Burdenuellus granted the merchants land grants and trading advantages. Using loans from the merchants, he would improve the agricultural production of Caesaraugusta, maintained the Roman roads, and dug defensive trenches to fend off small Visigothic armies.
In 506 Peter, a fellow ursurper, fled from Tortosa before the Visigoths took it and went to Caesaraugusta where he was welcomed by Burdenuellus and was made his successor as he had no male children of his own for he feared that the merchants would hand his small holdings over to the Visigoths.
In 512, after numerous failed peasant revolts, a priest of a small parish went out and found a band of Visigoths to aid him and the peasants in their attempt to overthrow Burdneuellus. The small group of 700 Visigoths and 400 peasants was brought to Burdenuellus's attention, but he chose to send a small force into an unwinnable battle to kill more of his opposition. Carus Gallus was sent out with 50 light infantry and was annihilated by the rebels with his other officer, Julian Cassius, was captured and had a ransom offered which was declined by Burdenuellus. Before the army could reach Caesaraugusta the Visigoths killed the priest after he refused to convert to Arianism and chose to raid the surrounding valley rather than attempt to take the city.
Four years later Burdenuellus fell ill and complained of stomach aches after drinking. Burdenuellus died a few days later.
