## Bio

Romulus was placed on the throne at roughly fifteen by his father Orestes, the magister militum, in October 475 after the usurpation of Julius Nepos. Nepos fled to Dalmatia and kept claiming the title, which meant Romulus was never legitimate in the eyes of Constantinople. In 476, barbarian foederati demanded land in Italy; Orestes refused. Odoacer led them against him, killed Orestes, and deposed the boy on 4 September. Odoacer didn't name a successor — he became King of Italy and acknowledged Zeno in the East instead. Romulus was pensioned off to a fortress in Campania, where he may have helped found a monastery decades later. He likely died before his mid-forties, leaving almost no laws, no inscriptions, no policies — a shadow at the end of an empire.
