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.)
