| | First, in about 479, Nepos began to plot against Odoacer, hoping to regain control of Italy for himself. | | | Nepos was, by all accounts, one of the more capable of the late western emperors, but he was unpopular with the Roman Senate, which disliked him for his close ties to the east. | | | Since he couldn't become emperor himself, as a Germanic tribesman, Orestes appointed his son Romulus, who was born to his Roman wife, as the new emperor. |

| | Nepos trembled at their approach; and, instead of placing a just confidence in the strength of Ravenna, he hastily escaped to his ships, and retired to his Dalmatian principality, on the opposite coast of the Hadriatic. | | | But the measures of the Byzantine court were so languid and irresolute, that many months elapsed after the death of Anthemius, and even of Olybrius, before their destined successor could show himself, with a respectable force, to his Italian subjects. | | | Their hopes (if such hopes had been entertained) were confounded within the term of a single year, and the treaty of peace, which ceded Auvergne to the Visigoths, is the only event of his short and inglorious reign. |
