Romulus Augustus (463 – 525), was a Western Roman Emperor, reigning from the 31 October 475 until his death on the 12th of August 515. His reign on the throne of the Western Roman Empire is generally held to mark the end of ancient Rome and its rebirth, the beginning of the First New Age in Western Europe as well as the time period in which the previously rapidly declining Western Empire not only ceased declining, but quickly began a shockingly quick return to prestige and power, serving as a catalyst for the future of Rome.

abstract
  • Romulus Augustus (463 – 525), was a Western Roman Emperor, reigning from the 31 October 475 until his death on the 12th of August 515. His reign on the throne of the Western Roman Empire is generally held to mark the end of ancient Rome and its rebirth, the beginning of the First New Age in Western Europe as well as the time period in which the previously rapidly declining Western Empire not only ceased declining, but quickly began a shockingly quick return to prestige and power, serving as a catalyst for the future of Rome. Despite his importance, historical records contain few details of Romulus' early life. He was installed as emperor by his father Orestes, the Magister militum of the Roman army after deposing the previous emperor Julius Nepos. Romulus, little more than a child, acted as a figurehead for his father's rule in his early days, but after his father's death, still only 14, Romulus took true power and began to systematically restore the Empire's dominance in Italy with the help of his advisers. Reigning for 49 years, Romulus reigned longer than both Augustus and Theodosius II, becoming the longest reigning Roman Emperor of his time. He would later become revered by the revived Imperial Cult, which worshiped him as the restorer of Rome and savior of civilization. Today he is still held as one of Rome's greatest Emperors, a true rival for his namesakes as well as all of his predecessors.
