One of the last emperors was half Gothic

What a shame the Germanics gave a final kicking to the decadent empire.

True. King Odoacer of the Herules.

Visigotes, Franks and Burgundes, instead were allied of Rome.

Who was the lucky Goth who got to marry into a Roman family?

The last emperors were not members of the traditional "Gens" (like Augusto or Marco Aurelio, for example), but often crude soldiers who had spent most of his life in contact with the Germans in the Northern and Eastern borders....in this time were born a lot of "mixed families" ... actually, I think the sub-race "Atlantid" was born in this way.

I don't actually remeber the name of this particular emperor (i read about him in my universitary text of roman history), i'll do some research about....

Thanks. I posted earlier maps of Brazil a few pages before, from the time of its proper discovery. By the 20th century Brazil was independent, they gained it in the 19th century. If Napoleon had never invaded Portugal, urging the Portuguese court to transfer to Brazil, most likely Brazil wouldn't have got its independence. When the King returned to Portugal he left there his son in charge... Bad idea! Then he became Emperor of Brazil.
