Orestes (father of Romulus Augustulus)
Orestes〔No other names are known, according to J.R. Martindale ''The Prosopography of the Later Roman Empire'' vol.II p.811-812. Cambridge University Press, 1980〕 (died 28 August AD 476) was a Roman general and politician of Pannonian ancestry, who was briefly in control of the remnant Western Roman Empire in 475–6.
==Early life==
Born to a Roman aristocratic family from Pannonia Savia, Orestes was son of Tatulus, a pagan, and son-in-law to Romulus who served as ''comes'' in the Western Roman Empire. After Pannonia was ceded to Attila the Hun, Orestes joined Attila's court, reaching high position as a secretary (''notarius'') in 449 and 452. In 449 Orestes was sent by Attila twice to Constantinople as envoy to Emperor Theodosius II.
In 475, Orestes was appointed ''magister militum'' and ''patricius'' by Western Roman Emperor Julius Nepos. This proved to be a mistake on the part of Nepos. By August 28, 475, Orestes, at the head of the ''foederati'' levies, managed to take control of the government in Ravenna, which had been the ''de facto'' capital of the Western Roman Empire since 402. Julius Nepos fled without a fight to Dalmatia, where he would continue to reign until his assassination in 480. With the emperor far away, Orestes elevated his son Romulus to the rank of ''Augustus'', so that the last Western Roman emperor is known as Romulus Augustulus meaning "little Augustus" as the emperor was only a 12-year-old boy.
