The Eastern Roman Emperor Leo I had not recognised Olybrius, and also did not recognise Glycerius, as his election had not been ratified by the Eastern court, and it was suspected that he was a puppet of Gundobad.

According to an hypothesis, which gathers the consensus of the historians, he was related to the Consul Anicius Hermogenianus Olybrius, whose wife and cousin, Anicia Juliana, had the same name Olybrius gave to his own daughter.

Regardless, the powerful Magister militum Aetius had forced Valentinian to betroth Placidia to his own son Gaudentius, so Olybrius could not have married her before Aetius ' death.

On the other hand, the chronicler Evagrius Scholasticus writes that Olybrius had fled Rome on the approach of Gaiseric's army.

With the Western throne vacant, Gaiseric supported Olybrius for the purple ; the reason for this decision was that Gaiseric's son Huneric and Olybrius had married the two daughters of Valentinian III ( Petronius ' son, Palladius, had been killed during the sack of Rome ), and therefore, with Olybrius on the throne, Gaiseric could exert great influence on the Western Empire.

Therefore Gaiseric freed Licinia Eudoxia ( thus fulfilling Daniel's prophesy ) and her daughter Placidia ( Olybrius ' wife ), but did not stop his raids on Italian's coasts, in order to press for the election of his candidate on the Western throne, but his project failed, because Ricimer, who had become the Magister militum of the West, chose Libius Severus as new Emperor ( 461 – 465 ).

In 472 Olybrius was sent to Italy by the Eastern Emperor, Leo I the Thracian, ostensibly to mediate between Ricimer and the Western Emperor, Anthemius, whom Ricimer had trapped in a siege of Rome.

Once he had accomplished this, Olybrius would then continue to Carthage and offer a peace treaty to Gaiseric.

But Ricimer had placed a guard at Ostia who found the secret letter ; Ricimer showed the document to Olybrius, which convinced Olybrius to accept the purple.

Ricimer had Anthemius killed and Olybrius acclaimed Emperor ( July 11, 472 ).

It is also noteworthy that Olybrius is depicted on his coins without helm and spear, common symbols on his predecessors ' coinage, suggesting he had little interest in military matters.

Olybrius had a palace in Constantinople, in the Tenth region, at one end of the Mese, the main street, along the Constantinianae.

Olybrius also restored at his expenses the nearby church of Saint Euphemia, a famous church, which had been chosen by Pulcheria, sister of Theodosius II, for the Council of Chalcedon in 451: this choice was a sign of the bond between Olybrius, a Roman senator, with the imperial House of Theodosius.

But the general chosen by the army was the only viable candidate to the throne: the Eastern court was not displeased with the deposition of Avitus, an Emperor chosen by the Visigoths ; on the other side, the only other candidate, Olybrius, had a politically difficult relationship with the Vandal king Genseric, and no influence on the army.

Gaiseric had his own candidate, Olybrius, who was related to Gaiseric because both Olybrius and a son of Gaiseric's had married the two daughters of Emperor Valentinian III.

It looked as Gavin had first seen it years ago, on those nights when he slept alone by his campfire and waked suddenly to the hoot of an owl or the rustle of a blade of grass in the moon's wind -- a savage land, untenanted and brooding, too strong to be broken by the will of men.
