The boy-Emperor Romulus Augustulus is often described as the last (Western) Roman Emperor. He abdicated the royal purple to Odoacer on September 4, 476. But there remained another claimant to the title of Western Roman Emperor -- the exiled Julius Nepos, who lived until 480. Who was the last Western Roman Emperor? One year to the day, I wrote an article on this ultimately unimportant question.

The last prophecy of The Oracle of Delphi (sent to Julian the Apostate). I can’t IMAGINE why I thought of this now, so I’ll just leave this here:

“Tell the emperor that the Daidalic hall has fallen.
No longer does Phoebus have his chamber, nor mantic laurel,
nor prophetic spring and the speaking water has been silenced.”
