But how did it come to this?In this episode, the finale of our Fall of Rome miniseries, Tristan Hughes is joined by historian and bestselling author Adrian Goldsworthy to chart the chaotic final decades of the Western Roman Empire.

In 461, Ricimer executed the emperor Majorian. He would become the virtual king of Italy. 

“Could the fall of the Roman Empire have been avoided?” The story of the last days of the Western Roman Empire is a tale of two men: Emperor Majorian and his advisor, Ricimer. Majorian was a brave and determined leader who inherited a realm in chaos. He spent his reign fighting to restore the empire to its former glory. Ricimer, was a power-hungry opportunist who saw disorder as an opportunity to seize control. As the empire crumbled beneath them, only one would be left standing. Help support the show on Patreon!

La grande flotta dei Romani è bruciata, i Goti avanzano in Gallia, i Vandali saccheggiano le coste italiane. A Roma, sul suo alto seggio, siede l'imperatore Antemio, assediato da ogni lato da persone che vogliono rimuoverlo. Ma Antemio non è né un incapace, né un codardo, e non fuggirà via ma combatterà con i suoi per il suo futuro mentre la spirale della politica imperiale porterà alla guerra civile e infine ad una immane catastrofe per la capitale dell’impero, Roma.---Grazie ai miei Patreon: Davide, Dominik, Giacomo, Jacopo, Jacopo Tosi, Marco, David, Fabio, Francesco, Roberto, Stefano, Sergio, Fabrizio, Gianmarco e ai nuovi arrivati, John, Luca e Riccardo!

This is episode 13 called Good bye, Roman Empire! and in this episode you will learn: SHOW NOTES - Who were Ricimer and Majorian, leaders of the coup d'état against Emperor Avitus - The situation of Hispania, especially in Gallaecia that was divided between two factions of Suebi - The very delicate situation of the Western Roman Empire when Emperor Majorian took power in 457 - The impressive achievements and conquests of Majorian, against the Vandals, Visigoths, Burgundians and Suebi - What went wrong in 460 that ended the dream of the restoration of the Western Roman Empire - How the Visigoths under Theodoric II and Euric conquered much of Hispania - How the Kingdom of the Suebi was restored under King Remismund, as a vassal state of the Visigoths, and why we don't have information about the Suebi for the next 80 years - The fall of the Western Roman Empire in 476 and the peak of Visigothic power - The consolidation of the Visigothic state with the promulgation of the Code of Euric and Breviary of Alaric and the division of Goths and Romans by law - Where did the Visigoths settle in Hispania and how they distributed its lands - The Frankish expansionism under Clovis I and the decisive Battle of Vouillé of 507, that supposed the end of the Visigothic Kingdom of Toulouse, the death of Alaric II, the weakening of the Balti dynasty and the end of Visigothic supremacyA reflection on the importance of not overextending

Ricimer is dead, the man behind the throne for the last two decades. Rome needs someone to fill his shoes, someone as cunning, as ruthless, as capable. Instead it was stuck with Glycerius. Oh well... 

Ok, the empire is falling, it is over run, there is no hope. But then up steps this man! Sure, he is a handy puppet caught in a vast game of politics between Ricimer and Leo, but that does not mean he can't make his mark on history! Sorry? Oh, it does mean that? oh. That's a shame.

He was destined to achieve great things, almost emperor of the East, then actual emperor of the West. With East and West unified once more and with the backing of his good friend Leo, how could Anthemius possibly lose? As long as he does nothing to annoy Ricimer, it will all be fine... Also: Jamie has a new toy! And everyone should be kind and encourage his creativeness - he has been practising all week. 

Severus III! The third of the Severuses. Watch as he singlehandedly rest- oh, sorry Ricimer, Didn't see you there. You want this episode to yourself? Oh, of course you can. Do you mind if we keep the title Severus III though? Just to keep things neat. Cheers. 

From 461-465 the Western Empire was ruled by Ricimer through a puppet Emperor named Libius Severus. Not everyone in the west was supportive of the new regime. 

From 457-461, Majorian marched around trying to reassert Imperial authority over the provinces while Ricimer remained in Italy.
