The Western Roman Empire, was the continuation of the Roman Empire in its western provinces during Late Antiquity. It originated in 395 AD with the final division of the Empire after the death of Theodosius I. The Empire probably divided because it was too large to be administered from one center of power. Unlike its eastern counterpart, it ceased to exist in 476 when Odoacer overthrew the last Western Roman Emperor, Romulus Augustus.
