History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire — Volume 1
David Reed and David Widger
"History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire — Volume 1" by Edward Gibbon is a comprehensive historical account written in the late 18th century. The work examines the gradual disintegration of the Roman Empire, covering pivotal events and transformations from the height of its power to its eventual fall, focusing particularly on the period of the Antonines. The opening of the first volume establishes the scope and organization of the work, outlining Gibbon's intention to explore the three major periods of Roman history that led to its decline. He begins by charting the extent and strength of the Empire during the age of the Antonines, highlighting its military might and internal prosperity. Gibbon sets the stage for the subsequent decline by contrasting the early vigor and disciplined governance of the Empire with the challenges it would face. Through detailed descriptions, he illustrates the complexities of imperial administration and military strategy, preparing readers for a deeper examination of the events leading to Rome's eventual downfall.
