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 September476. 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.
