     Aelia Zenonis was the wife of Basiliscus, who briefly usurped the
     throne from the Emperor Zeno in the critical year of 475/476 AD.
     The turmoil in the Eastern Empire allowed the Germanic chieftain
     Odovacer to depose the last Western Roman Emperor, Romulus
     Augustus, thus ending the West Roman Empire.
