Focusing on the decline of the Roman Empire, this six-volume work analyzes the period from the late 2nd century AD to the fall of Constantinople in 1453. Gibbon employs Enlightenment principles, emphasizing reason and critical analysis to explore the empire's collapse due to political corruption, military overreach, and economic issues, alongside the emergence of Christianity. The narrative also delves into the interactions among diverse cultures within the empire, including the impact of barbarian invasions and the Byzantine legacy.
