Abstract:	The year 476 A.D. is commonly accepted by all historians as the end of the Western Roman empire. A hundred years before it happened, Rome was an immense power spread like an eagle over Europe, Africa and Asia Minor. What caused its downfall? What made it a prey to the barbaric invasions? Gorg Peresso, the author of this series, illuminates the panorama of the empire's end with a mix of authoritative writings from that period and contemporary historians. The result is more than a documentaed account, but a story full of action, brutality and intrigue of a divided empire.
Description:	This program discusses Flavius Ricimer was a Romanized Germanic general who effectively ruled the remaining territory of the Western Roman Empire from 456 until his death in 472. Deriving his power from his position as magister militum of the Western Empire, Ricimer exercised political control through a series of puppet emperors. Ricimer's military office and his dominance over the empire led to historians such as J. B. Bury to conclude that he was a link between previous magistri militum, such as the Vandal Stilicho, and the Germanic King of Italy, Odoacer.Odoacer deposed Western Emperor Romulus Augustulus in 476, in an act often considered to mark the fall of the Roman Empire.
