About this listen

 Dive into Volume V of Edward Gibbons monumental work, The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, a cornerstone of 18th-century literature. This volume explores the intricate dynamics of the Roman Empire following the reign of Marcus Aurelius, spanning from 180 to 1453 and even extending to 1590. Gibbon meticulously examines the behaviors and decisions that precipitated the decline and ultimate fall of both the Eastern and Western Roman Empires. Often regarded as the first modern historian of ancient Rome, Gibbons objective narrative and rigorous use of references set a standard for historians in the 19th and 20th centuries.
