On June 24th 747, Julius Nepos became the 12th roman emperor of the 5th Century, making him one of the last in the long line of succession. Nepos rose to the position following his deposition of Glycerius. Glycerius surrendered without resistance, however Nepos' rule would be short lived. In August 748, Nepos fled to Dalmatia following an attack by Orestes. It is believed that Nepos was eventually murdured by supporters/friends of Glycerius. The Encyclopedia Britannica describes Nepos as "the last legitimate Western Roman emperor".
