eBook editionsThe Decline and Fall of the Roman Empireby Edward Gibbon
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Gibbon's masterpiece, which narrates the history of the Roman Empire from the second century a.d. to its collapse in the west in the fifth century and in the east in the fifteenth century, is widelyconsidered the greatest work of history ever written.
