Was odoacer a roman emperor?
No, Odoacer was not an Emperor. He was a general who deposed Romulus Augustulus, the last Emperor of the West Roman Empire, and asked Zeno, the Emperor of the East Roman Empire of the time, to take responsibility for both halves of the empire. Odoacer continued on, apparently as a king or supreme governor, in Italy. Please use the link below for more on Odoacer.
What barbarian destroyed the last of the roman empire in 476?
In 476 Odoacer, the commander of Germanic troops which fought for the Romans, deposed the last Roman emperor of the west, Romulus Augustus. He did not destroy the empire. After this Theodoric the Great of the (Germanic) Visigoths was sent to depose Odoacer by Zeno, the Roman emperor of the east. Historians used 476 as a conventional date for the end of the Roman empire of the west because there were no further emperors. However, some historians disagree and point out that Theodoric wanted to restore the glory of the empire.
