Description Friedrich Dürrenmatt's play Romulus der Große (Romulus the Great, 1950) shows the demise of the Roman Empire in the 5th Century - taking place during the day of (and the day following) the Ides of March, 476 A.D. The ruin of the Empire is calmly expected by the Emperor Romulus Augustulus. Despite the attempts of his ministers and courtiers to force the emperor to take decisive steps against the increasing peril of the Germanic invasion, Romulus prefers to stay at home breeding domesticated chickens and not to act.
