Edward Gibbon's seminal work, The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, is one of the most influential and impressive historical works in European literature, firmly entrenched in the general understanding of the era that can rightfully be considered the cradle of European civilization. Gibbon's research focuses on the more than a thousand-year history of Roman civilization, from the empire's "golden age" under the Antonine dynasty to the fall of Constantinople to the Ottomans in 1453.

The emperors, wars, political strife, and clerical intrigues of The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire combine to form a sweeping and captivating canvas, narrating one of the most significant periods in European history.

The "General History" is a magnificent edition, each beautifully illustrated with numerous color and black-and-white plates. Each book is richly decorated with exquisite gold leaf and makes a wonderful gift for the most discerning reader or collector.
