Philippicus was the husband of Gordia, a sister of the emperor Maurice. Upon his accession on the imperial throne, Maurice presented much wealth and land property to his family, as recorded in Joh. Eph., EH 5.18. Philippicus was one of Maurice's most important generals during the war against the Persians in the 580s. He survived the coup of Phocas in 602 by entering in a monastery, but was later re-activated as general by Heraclius.
