Julius Nepos was a Western Emperor (474–475 or –480) during the last stage of the Western Roman Empire. He is also sometimes considered the last De jure Roman Emperor. He reigned, at first, over Italy and the adjoining areas yet held by the Western Empire. As of 475, he ruled only over Dalmatia and had legal influence over Gaul, having been deposed and replaced with Romulus Augustus (Augustulus) (in effect if not in law) in the rest of the Western remnant.
