Traditionally, the end of the Western Roman Empire dates back to 476, with Odoacer's return of the imperial insignia to the Byzantine emperor Zeno. It must be kept in mind, however, that Julius Nepos continued to consider himself the legitimate Emperor of the West until his death, which occurred in Dalmatia in 480.
