(and takes half the space)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire is a non-fiction history book written by English historian Edward Gibbon and published in six volumes. Volume I was published in 1776, and went through six printings. Volumes II and III were published in 1781; volumes IV, V, VI in 1788–89. The original volumes were published in quarto sections, a common publishing practice of the time. The work covers the history of the Roman Empire, Europe, and the Catholic Church from 98 to 1590 and discusses the decline of the Roman Empire in the East and West. Because of its relative objectivity and heavy use of primary sources, at the time, its methodology became a model for later historians. This led to Gibbon being called the first \"modern historian of ancient Rome.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e• Volume 1:\u003cbr\u003e1-The Extent Of The Empire In The Age Of The Antonines\u003cbr\u003e2-The Internal Prosperity In The Age Of The Antonines\u003cbr\u003e3-The Constitution In The Age Of The Antonines\u003cbr\u003e4-The Cruelty, Follies And Murder Of Commodus\u003cbr\u003e5-Sale Of The Empire To Didius Julianus\u003cbr\u003e6-Death Of Severus, Tyranny Of Caracalla, Usurpation Of Marcinus\u003cbr\u003e7-Tyranny Of Maximin, Rebellion, Civil Wars, Death Of Maximin\u003cbr\u003e8-State Of Persion And Restoration Of The Monarchy\u003cbr\u003e9-State Of Germany Until The Barbarians\u003cbr\u003e10-Emperors Decius, Gallus, Aemilianus, Valerian And Gallienus\u003cbr\u003e11-Reign Of Claudius, Defeat Of The Goths\u003cbr\u003e12-Reigns Of Tacitus, Probus, Carus And His Sons\u003cbr\u003e13-Reign Of Diocletian And This Three Associates\u003cbr\u003e14-Six Emperors At The Same Time, Reunion Of The Empire\u003cbr\u003e15-Progress Of The Christian Religion\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e• Volume 2:\u003cbr\u003e16-Conduct Towards The Christians, From Nero To Constantine\u003cbr\u003e17-Foundation Of Constantinople etc.\u003cbr\u003e18-Character Of Constantine And His Sons\u003cbr\u003e19-Constantius Sole Emperor\u003cbr\u003e20-Conversion Of Constantine\u003cbr\u003e21-Persecution Of Heresy, State Of The Church\u003cbr\u003e22-Julian Declared Emperor\u003cbr\u003e23-Reign Of Julian\u003cbr\u003e24-The Retreat And Death Of Julian\u003cbr\u003e25-Reigns Of Jovian And Valentinian, Division Of The Empire\u003cbr\u003e26-Progress of The Huns\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e• Volume 3:\u003cbr\u003e27-Civil Wars, Reign Of Theodosius\u003cbr\u003e28-Destruction Of Paganism\u003cbr\u003e29-Division Of Roman Empire Between Sons Of Theodosius\u003cbr\u003e30-Revolt Of The Goths\u003cbr\u003e31-Invasion Of Italy, Occupation Of Territories By Barbarians\u003cbr\u003e32-Emperors Arcadius, Eutropius, Theodosius II\u003cbr\u003e33-Conquest Of Africa By The Vandals\u003cbr\u003e34-Attila\u003cbr\u003e35-Invasion By Attila\u003cbr\u003e36-Total Extinction Of The Western Empire\u003cbr\u003e37-Conversion Of The Barbarians To Christianity\u003cbr\u003e38-Reign Of Clovis\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e• Volume 4:\u003cbr\u003e39-Gothic Kingdom Of Italy\u003cbr\u003e40-Reign Of Justinian\u003cbr\u003e41-Conquests Of Justinian, Charact Of Balisarius\u003cbr\u003e42-State Of The Barbaric World\u003cbr\u003e43-Last Victory And Death Of Belisarius, Death Of Justinian\u003cbr\u003e44-Idea Of The Roman Jurisprudence\u003cbr\u003e45-State Of Italy Under The Lombards\u003cbr\u003e46-Troubles In Persia\u003cbr\u003e47-Ecclesiastical Discord\u003cbr\u003e48-Succession And Characters Of The Greek Emperors\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e• Volume 5:\u003cbr\u003e49-Conquest Of Italy By The Franks\u003cbr\u003e50-Description Of Arabia And Its Inhabitants\u003cbr\u003e51-Conquests By The Arabs\u003cbr\u003e52-More Conquests By The Arabs\u003cbr\u003e53-Fate Of The Eastern Empire\u003cbr\u003e54-Origin And Doctrine Of The Paulicians\u003cbr\u003e55-The Bulgarians, The Hungarians And The Russians\u003cbr\u003e56-The Saracens, The Franks And The Normans\u003cbr\u003e57-The Turks\u003cbr\u003e58-The First Crusade\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e• Volume 6:\u003cbr\u003e59-The Crusades\u003cbr\u003e60-The Fourth Crusade\u003cbr\u003e61-Partition Of The Empire By The French And Venetians\u003cbr\u003e62-Greek Emperors Of Nice And Constantinople\u003cbr\u003e63-Civil Wars And The Ruin Of The Greek Empire\u003cbr\u003e64-Moguls, Ottoman Turkds\u003cbr\u003e65-Elevation Of Timour Or Tamerlane, And His Death\u003cbr\u003e66-Union Of The Greek And Latin Churches\u003cbr\u003e67-Schism Of The Greeks And Latins\u003cbr\u003e68-Reign Of Mahomet The Second, Extinction Of Eastern Empire\u003cbr\u003e69-State Of Rome From The Twelfth Century\u003cbr\u003e70-Final Settlement Of The Ecclesiastical State\u003cbr\u003e71-Prospect Of The Ruins Of Rome In The Fifteenth Century","brand":"Packard Technologies","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47184135323888,"sku":"2940015530261","price":1.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940015530261_p0.jpg?v=1763629693","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940015530261","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
