Tips

history

Phonetic transliteration of 'Odoacer' (Germanic chieftain, c. 433-493 CE). His deposition of the boy-emperor Romulus Augustulus in September 476 is the conventional textbook date for the fall of the Western Roman Empire. He ruled Italy as 'King' under nominal Eastern Roman authority until killed by Theodoric the Ostrogoth at a banquet in Ravenna. Standard fixture in Chinese world-history textbooks.
