He achieved a solid diplomatic coup by inducing the Vandal king <a href="/wiki/Gaiseric" title="Gaiseric">Gaiseric</a> to cede Sicily to him. Noting that "Odovacar seized power in August of 476, Gaiseric died in January 477, and the sea usually became closed to navigation around the beginning of November", F. M.
