Romulus Augustus
Flavius Romulus Augustus (c. 461/463 – after
476
), often called Romulus Augustulus ("little Augustus"), was a
Western Roman Emperor
who reigned from
31 October
475 to
4 September
,
476
. Historically, his reign has been used to mark
the fall of Rome
and the onset of the
Dark Ages
.The historical record contains few details of Romulus' life. He was installed as emperor by his father
Orestes
, the
commanding general
of the Roman army, after Flavius had deposed the previous emperor
Julius Nepos
. Romulus, little more than a child, acted as a
figurehead
for his father's rule. Reigning only ten months, Romulus Augustus was deposed by the
Germanic chieftain
Odoacer
and sent to live in the
Castellum Lucullanum
in
Campania
; he disappears from the historical record afterward.
