Roman "World" Who's Who: Augustus Romulus

Flavius Romulus Augustus (born circa 463, died after 476), often called Romulus Augustulus, was the last Western Roman Emperor (31 October 475 - 4 September 476). His father Orestes, commanding general of the Roman army, installed Romulus on the throne after deposing the emperor Julius Nepos. Romulus, who may have been about 12 years old, acted as a figurehead for his father's rule. Reigning for 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. (adapted from Wikipedia article)
