" More prosaically, one wo...

    Romulus Augustus was the son of the emperor Julius Nepos' Pannonian master general Orestes. He is perhaps better known by his diminutive nickname, Romulus Augustulus, which means, Little Augustus." It is one of the odd coincidences of history that Rome's first and last emperor, in the West at least, should be named Augustus. Earlier in the year 475, Orestes revolted against Nepos, who fled to Salon. Orestes put his son on the throne instead of claiming it himself because he had no Roman blood bu...

  • Stjepan Tomas Kotromanic Fleur De Lys Arms
    1,341 words
    The origin of the arms with the argent between 6 fleur-de-lys, which is now on the flag of the republic of Bosnia-Hercegovina, has long puzzled me, but they are in fact the arms of the Kotromanic family, which ruled Bosnia in the 14 th and 1 5 th centuries.
