Storia della decadenza e rovina dell'impero romano, volume 02 by Edward Gibbon
"Storia della decadenza e rovina dell'impero romano, volume 02" by Edward Gibbon is a historical work published between 1776-1789. This monumental six-volume history traces Western civilization from the Roman Empire's peak through the Islamic and Mongol conquests to Constantinople's fall in 1453. Using primary sources unusually for his time, Gibbon examines the behaviors and decisions that led to Rome's decline. His ironic, pessimistic analysis—particularly his controversial views on Christianity's role—revolutionized historical methodology
while sparking intense debate that continues today. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
