It seems that Anthemius was designated as Western Roman Emperor by Eastern Emperor Leo on the death of Libius Severus (475); but was not acknowleged in the West until 477. The reason for this delay is not clear, and does not necessarily result from some disagreement: during this troubled period it happened several times, for instance, that the name of a Consul designated for one part of the Roman world could not reach the other part before he was out of charge.
