The succession of Western Roman Emperors ended in the year 476 when the last Western Emperor Romulus Augustulus was deposed by the Germanic Chieftain Odoacer, although many maintain that Julius Nepos was the last emperor and Eastern Emperor Zeno decided not to appoint a new Emperor in the West while a third claimant arose in the person of Glycerius who had been concecrated as Bishop of Salona or Mediolanum after his deposition. This is generally accepted to be the end of Antiquity and the beginning the Early Middle Ages also known as the Dark Ages. However, Roman rule had disintegrated somewhat earlier in the century as a result of Germanic invasions which had overrun all of the territory that had belonged to the western half of the Roman Empire.
