Anthemius

Western Roman Emperor

420 CE to 472 CE

Procopius Anthemius (c. 420 – 11 July 472) is Western Roman Emperor from 467 to 472.

Perhaps the last capable Western Roman Emperor, Anthemius attempts to solve the two primary military challenges facing the remains of the Western Roman Empire: the resurgent Visigoths, under Euric, whose domain straddles the Pyrenees; and the unvanquished Vandals, under Geiseric, in undisputed control of North Africa.

Anthemius is killed by Ricimer, his own general of Gothic descent, who contests power with him.
