History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire — Volume 6 by Edward Gibbon
"History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire — Volume 6" by Edward Gibbon is a historical work published in 1788. This sixth and final volume completes Gibbon's monumental examination of the Roman Empire's collapse. The work traces events from Rome's peak through the fall of Byzantium, exploring how barbarian invasions, the rise of Christianity, and the loss of civic virtue led to imperial decline. Gibbon's detached yet critical style
sparked enduring controversy about Christianity's role in Rome's fate, though his central thesis remains disputed by modern scholars. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
