Historical background


LIBIUS SEVERUS

(19/11/461-25/09/465)

Autonumous coinage of Wisigoth for Tolosa

Libius Severus succeeded Majorian and was proclaimed emperor at the instigation of Ricimer on November 19, 461. The reality of power was in fact in the hands of Ricimer. Libius Sévérus disappears from the political scene four years later, perhaps liquidated by his boss. The West will go almost two years without a titular emperor.
