History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire — Volume 5 by Edward Gibbon
"History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire — Volume 5" 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 the fall of Western Rome, the rise of Christianity as state religion, and the fall of Byzantium. Gibbon argues that Rome succumbed to barbarian invasions largely due to the gradual loss of civic virtue
among its citizens, controversially exploring Christianity's role in this decline with detached yet critical prose. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
