Kaiser des weströmischen Reiches 472
Olybrius was a Roman emperor who ruled the Western Roman Empire for only a few months in 472 CE, though his authority was not recognized by the Eastern Roman Empire's ruler. He was essentially a puppet placed in power by Ricimer, a Germanic military leader who held the real authority, while Olybrius himself focused on religious matters rather than governance.
