Ovida - Western Roman Empire, Dalmatia, Julius Nepos, Roman Empire

Ovida (died December 9, 480) was a general during the late Western Roman Empire and the last Roman ruler of Dalmatia. Following Flavius Orestes's coup against the Western Roman Emperor Julius Nepos on August 28, 475, Ovida remained loyal to the Emperor and accompanied him on his escape to Dalmatia. The situation in Dalmatia, in contrast to the situation in the rest of the Empire, was fairly stable, to the relief of the civilian population and the legionaries. For the next three years, Nepos ruled in Dalmatia while in the West Orestes's son Romulus Augustus was deposed as Emperor by the Scirian general Odoacer.
