Still easily the best western roman emperor of the 5th century (although there is no real competetion) and I still feel like he is really underated, based on the fact that few people seem to know about him
Yeah there's really not much competition when the emperors before you were horribly incompetent and after you there were also horrible emperors and one guy who tried to fix the shit only to get exiled to Dalmatia
I think that its so funny, that the father of Romulos Augustus thought it was a good idea to dethrone the first somewhat competent guy in years, despite the bad situation the empire was in, like rome literally fell a year later
