The deposition of the last Western Roman Emperor, Romulus Augustulus, in 476 CE by the Germanic chieftain Odoacer is traditionally considered the end of the Western Roman Empire. This event marked the culmination of centuries of internal strife, economic decline, political instability, and external pressures from migrating Germanic tribes [7]. While the Eastern Roman (Byzantine) Empire continued for another thousand years, the fall of the West led to the fragmentation of its territories into various Germanic kingdoms, ushering in the Early Middle Ages in Europe. The collapse of such a powerful and long-lasting empire had profound and lasting effects on the political, social, and cultural landscape of Europe, leading to a period of decentralization and the emergence of new societal structures.
