In 476 the last of Rome's emperors was deposed by a barbarian general and the imperial vestments were sent to Constantinople. The curtain fell on the Western Roman Empire, its territories divided between kingdoms constructed around barbarian military manpower. But if Rome was dead, the dream of restoring it refused to die.
