El salvador del Imperio, Flavio Aecio

In 476, the leader of the Heruli, Odoacer, deposed the Emperor of the West, Romulus Augustus, sending the insignia of imperial power to Constantinople, capital of the Eastern Roman Empire. The Western Roman Empire had come to an end. What had happened to make the greatest empire in the known world disappear? For hundreds of years, a series of events were happening that led to the end of the Empire: internal struggles between the emperor and all those who aspired to take his place; degradation and corruption in the administration and among its officials; an army in decline and decomposition that had lost the values ??that had made it invincible, and finally, the arrival in the territories of the empire of a series of peoples, called "barbarians", who on many occasions had been hired by the emperors themselves or those who aspired to depose them to use them as an armed force. However, in that period, a Roman general, Flavius ??Aetius of Mesia, exercised the functions of head of state, magister militum, during the mandate of Emperor Valentinian III and managed to stop the attacks of the barbarian peoples, delaying the fall of the Empire of West for a generation. His fame and courage, as well as the feat achieved, were such that he was considered the savior of the Western Empire and his Eastern contemporaries gave him the nickname "the last Roman." This is his story.
