The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire is a six-volume work by the English historian Edward Gibbon. In the third and fourth volumes, Gibbon compellingly narrates the surge of barbarian incursions led by generals like Alaric and Attila, culminating in the overwhelm and ultimate downfall of the Western regions. Subsequently, he shifts focus to the Eastern sphere, where, despite the accomplishments of the Byzantine emperor Justinian and the strategic prowess of the military commander Belisarius, the deep-seated frailties of their dominion were unmistakable.

The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire spans Western civilization, Islamic, and Mongolian conquests from the Roman Empire's zenith to Byzantium's downfall. Across six volumes, it details the Roman Empire from 98 to 1590, early Christianity, the Roman State Church, and European history, focusing on the factors that contributed to the collapse of one of history's greatest civilizations over thirteen centuries, including its leaders, wars, and societal dynamics.

This case laminate collector's edition includes a Victorian-inspired dust jacket.
