"The wind and waves are always on the side of the ablest navigators."
Edward Gibbon's monumental six-volume work traces the trajectory of Western civilization from the height of the Roman Empire in the 2nd century to the fall of Constantinople in 1453. He analyzes the political, social, and religious forces—including the rise of Christianity—that led to the gradual disintegration of the greatest power the world had ever known.
Published in the late 18th century, this work is a landmark of Enlightenment historiography and English literature. Gibbon's ironic wit, sweeping narrative, and rigorous reliance on primary sources set a new standard for historical writing. It remains the definitive starting point for understanding the transition from Antiquity to the Middle Ages.
Volume II of 6 — Chapters 17–26: from Constantine and his new capital to the barbarian invasions of the late fourth century.
