Trebeta was the legendary founder of Trier according to the Gesta Treverorum (and possibly other sources). He was the son of Ninus (Nimrod), King of Assyria, by a wife prior to his marriage to Queen Semiramis. His step-mother Semiramis despised him, and when she took over the kingdom after the death of his father Ninus, Trebeta left Assyria and went to Europe.
