History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire — Volume 4 by Edward Gibbon

"History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire — Volume 4" by Edward Gibbon is a historical work published in 1788. This volume forms part of Gibbon's monumental six-volume chronicle tracing the Roman Empire from its peak through fifteen centuries of transformation. Volume 4 continues the narrative examining barbarian invasions, the loss of civic virtue, and Christianity's controversial role in Rome's decline. Written with detached yet critical prose, Gibbon's Enlightenment perspective shaped historical methodology while sparking enduring debate about the forces that toppled one of history's greatest civilizations.
