Man, That's Tiny
Today is your Lucky Day! That is if, like me, you woke up this morning wondering which Roman Emperor had the shortest reign. If you didn't wake up wake up this morning wondering which Roman Emperor had the shortest reign, then I guess you're once again shit-outta-luck.
Anicius Olybrius has the dubious distinction of having ruled the Roman Empire for the shortest amount of time for about six months in 472 CE. Oddly, he wasn't assassinated nor was he death even remotely interesting: he died of natural causes. Coincidently, the man who put Olybrius on the throne, a Barbarian general named Ricimer, died vomiting blood.
