AD 460--after AD 476; apparently still alive as late as AD 507), formally known as Romulus Augustus, was a Roman emperor and alleged usurper who ruled the Western Roman Empire from 31 October AD 475 until 4 September AD 476 . His deposition by Odoacer traditionally marks the end of the Roman Empire in the West, the fall of Ancient Rome, and the beginning of the Middle Ages in Western Europe . </P> <P> Although he adopted the name Augustus upon his accession, he is better remembered by his derisive nickname Augustulus . The Latin suffix - ulus is a diminutive; hence Augustulus effectively means "Little Augustus ." </P>
