OLYBRIUS

This article appears in Volume V20, Page 93 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: NUM-ORC
OLYBRIUS ,
Roman
  emperor of the West from the 11th of July to the 23rd of October 472, was a member of a
noble
  family and a native of Rome. After the sack of the
city
  by Genseric
(Geiseric) in 455, he fled to
Constantinople
 , where in 464 he was made
consul
 , and about the same time married Placidia, daughter of Valentinian III. and Eudoxia. This afforded Genseric, whose son Hunneric had married Eudocia, the
elder
 
sister
  of Placidia, the opportunity of claiming the
empire
  of the West for Olybrius, In 472 Olybrius was sent to
Italy
  by the emperor Leo to assist the emperor Anthemius against his son-in-law Ricimer, but, having entered into negotiations with the latter, was himself proclaimed emperor against his will, and on the murder of his rival ascended the
throne
  unopposed. His reign was as uneventful as it was brief.
See Gibbon, Decline and Fall, ch. xxxvi.; J. B. Bury, Later
Roman
 
Empire
