Here it is, in one single Volume, the forever masterpiece of Gibbon, the first of the historians who dared to comprehend into One two empires, the Roman Western Emmpire and the Eastern Roman Empire both the same subject under the prophecy on the Destruction of the Roman Empire by John written, and by some misplaced upon the Catholic Church. This was and is the real merit of Gibbon's masterpiece. It is a General Introductionto ther History of the Roman Empire under the Doom of the Destruction upon it by God uttered long before anybody could dream of a world without Rome. The greatness of Gibbon's consisted in the gathering of all the pieces into the great picture of the world from Constantine to the Fall of the Roman Empire, including Moors, Barbarians, Turks, Mongols, Crusades, and so on and so forth, a work never turned into one single work and made coherent for all. If you have never read it, do it now, relax, sit and let yourself guided through century after century by the narative of this grandpa of the Modern Historians.
