罗慕路斯-奥古斯都斯在位
AD 475 - AD 476
罗穆卢斯-奥古斯都是奥雷斯的儿子,他曾是匈奴人阿提拉的助手,有时被派往君士坦丁堡进行外交访问。 阿提拉死后,奥雷斯加入了西方帝国的服务,并很快取得了高级职位。 公元474年,皇帝朱利叶斯-尼波斯任命他为 "士兵的主人",并将他提升为贵族等级。
在这个崇高的位置上,俄瑞斯忒斯得到了比皇帝本人更多的支持。 因为现在意大利的几乎所有驻军都是德国雇佣兵。 他们对帝国的忠诚度很低。 如果他们有任何忠诚的话,那就是对他们的同胞德国 "士兵的主人"。 因为俄瑞斯忒斯是一半德国人,一半罗马人。 看到自己的机会,俄瑞斯忒斯发动了一场朱利叶斯-尼波斯于公元475年8月逃跑,把意大利留给了奥雷斯特。
但奥瑞斯忒斯并没有自己夺取王位。 他与他的罗马妻子生了一个儿子罗慕路斯-奥古斯都。 也许奥瑞斯忒斯认为罗马人会比他自己更愿意接受他的儿子,因为他身上有更多的罗马血统。 无论如何,奥瑞斯忒斯在公元475年10月31日让他年轻的儿子成为西方的皇帝。 东方帝国拒绝承认这个篡位者,继续支持朱利斯留在达尔马提亚流亡的尼波斯。

因此,他的名字有时会被改变,以反映公众对他的不尊重。 罗穆卢斯 "被改为Momyllus,意思是 "小耻辱"。 而 "奥古斯都 "被变成 "奥古斯都",意思是 "小奥古斯都 "或 "小皇帝"。 正是后一个版本在历史上一直伴随着他,今天许多历史学家仍然把他称为罗穆卢斯-奥古斯都。

但这一政策从未在意大利实行过。 奥瑞斯提斯起初曾承诺,如果德国士兵帮助他废黜朱利叶斯-内波斯,他就向他们提供这种土地。 但一旦完成了这一任务,他就选择忘记这种让步。
但德国军队不愿意让这个问题被遗忘,他们要求得到 "他们的 "三分之一的土地。 领导他们抗议的人是奥雷斯特自己的高级军官之一,弗拉维乌斯-奥多亚克(奥多瓦卡)。
面对如此大规模的叛变,奥雷斯特撤到了提契诺姆(帕维亚)城坚固的城墙后面。 但这次叛变并非昙花一现,提契诺姆被围困、攻陷并被洗劫一空。 奥雷斯特被带到普拉琴察(皮亚琴察),于公元476年8月被处决。
奥瑞斯提斯的弟弟(保罗)不久后在拉文纳附近的战斗中被杀。
此后,奥多亚克攻占了拉文纳城,迫使罗穆卢斯于公元476年9月4日退位。 被废黜的皇帝退居坎帕尼亚的米塞努姆(Misenum)宫殿,每年领取六千英镑的养老金。 他的死亡日期不明。 尽管有些说法表明,他可能在公元507-11年还活着。
