| Summary | "Storia della decadenza e rovina dell'impero romano, volume 06" by Edward Gibbon is a historical account written in the late 18th century. The work focuses on the decline and fall of the Roman Empire, examining the political and social dynamics that contributed to its downfall. This volume specifically addresses the division of the Empire among the sons of Theodosius and the subsequent events that illustrated the struggle for power and governance during this turbulent period. The opening of this volume sets the stage for the political landscape following the death of Emperor Theodosius. It details the ascension of his sons Arcadio and Honorio as the legitimate rulers of the Eastern and Western Empires, respectively, in a context marked by weak leadership and political intrigue. Key figures such as the ambitious minister Rufinus and the general Stilicone emerge, highlighting the chaos and corruption that characterized their reigns. The narrative provides rich historical context, including the rebellion in Africa led by Gildone and the internal conflicts and schemes that paved the way for the eventual downfall of the Empire.
