Not gonna miss the Pretorian Guard.... but we see the Imperial Capital of Rome slowly fade over the next 132 years until the sack of 455 AD.... to me, the empire ends that year. 456 to 476... Rome is just not important..... and the HUGE attempts in 430 to 460's to rebuild the empire are just very sad.
