Engraving of Augustulus
Romulus Augustulus was the last Western Roman Emperor, ruling from 475 to 476 AD. He became emperor as a child after his father, Orestes, seized power. His reign lasted only about ten months before he was deposed by the Germanic leader Odoacer. This event is traditionally considered the end of the Western Roman Empire. Romulus was spared because of his young age and lived the rest of his life in retirement.
