The deposition of Romulus Augustulus in 476 C.E. marked the formal end of the Roman Empire in Western Europe. Romulus Augustulus was the last Roman Emperor in the West, and his deposition by the Germanic leader Odoacer marked the end of centuries of Roman rule and the beginning of the Middle Ages. The other options, such as the Battle of Actium and the Battle of Pharsalus, were significant events in Roman history, but they did not mark the formal end of the Roman Empire in the West. The death of Lucretius was even further back in history and was not a significant event in the fall of the Roman Empire.
