The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire (vol. 5)

In the penultimate volume of his landmark work, Edward Gibbon continues his exploration of the Roman Empire's decline, focusing on the internal conflicts and external pressures that led to its fragmentation. Volume 5 examines the rise of powerful new forces, including the Byzantine Empire and the spread of Islam, and their impact on the remnants of Roman authority. Gibbon's incisive prose and thorough research illuminate the cultural, political, and military transformations that reshaped the ancient world.
