Greetings all,
Today we reflect on Julius Nepos deposing Glycerius as Emperor of the West on June 24th in 474 AD:
Glycerius had reigned for a year but had not been recognized by
Emperor Leo I in the East. Nepos ruled Rome for only a year before retreating
to Dalmatia. He had hopes of regaining the West from there as he did
have support from Zeno in the East, but that did not happen. These were dark days for the West.
