Gibbon, Edward
"Storia della decadenza e rovina dell'impero romano, volume 12" by Edward Gibbon is the twelfth volume of a historical work published between 1776-1789. This monumental six-volume history traces Western civilization from the Roman Empire's height through the Islamic and Mongol conquests to Constantinople's fall in 1453. Gibbon's groundbreaking use of primary sources established him as "the first modern historian of ancient Rome."
