History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire — Volume 4 by Edward Gibbon
"History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire — Volume 4" by Edward Gibbon is part of a six-volume work published between 1776 and 1788. This monumental history traces the Roman Empire from its peak through fifteen centuries of transformation, examining the rise of Christianity, the fall of Rome, and the eventual collapse of Byzantium. Gibbon's controversial thesis attributes Rome's decline partly to Christianity's influence on civic virtue. Written with
detached yet critical prose, this Enlightenment masterwork sparked enduring debates about religion, empire, and civilization's trajectory. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
