Quote: Odoacar never became emperor of Rome, but he also did not become 'king of Italy'. he became ruler of his own Germanic followers and asked for leave to rule to Romans for Contantinople.

Robert, I think I know where you are going with this comment but Odoacer did become king of Italy. He apparently was slick about how he went about it. When dealing with Zeno, the Roman emperor in the East, he was careful to use the term, dux. However, in Italy he used the term, rex. See Wickham's book cited previously, for example. We are in full agreement, however, that he was not emperor in any way. Dave

Marcellus Valerius Gothicus (aka Dave Dietrich)
