Decline And Fall Roman Empire
855 words
Edward Gibbon says the decay of Rome was
inevitable. He writes that instead of inquiring
why the Roman Empire was destroyed, it is
surprising that it subsisted so long. Gibbons'
argument comes down to four major arguments,
divided into ruler ship, the abuse of
Christianity, the expansion of the Barbarians, and
finally the loss of the Roman military power.
Edward Gibbon was one of the greatest English
historians of the late 1700 's. His father entered
