Edward Gibbon's masterpiece not only marked the beginning of the modern discipline of history, but still provides a solid scholarly foundation for the study of the Middle Ages, thrilling readers with the epic scope of its narrative as much today as it did nearly three centuries ago when it was first published. In this, the first volume, Gibbon examines the struggles of Rome from the Pax Romana to the unification of the Empire under Constantine I.
