Every fan of the Roman Empire has heard of Edward Gibbon, the Englishman who published his first volume of The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire in 1776 and ended up writing a history that would become one of the most acclaimed works of all time.

But condensed accounts of Gibbon's massive work, which was later edited by John B. Bury, remain elusive. This condensed history, however, presents the most important facts and storylines that form the backbone of perhaps the greatest empire of all time. Learn about:

● The mythology behind the founding of Rome
● Various emperors
● The unifying elements of the Roman Empire
● Christianity and its development
● The founding of Constantinople
● Divisions of the empire
● Roman law
● Islamic expansion
● Genghis Khan and the Mongols
● How Rome fell
● And much, much more

How Rome Fell has it all: warfare, religion, heroes and villains. These are the events that made the Roman Empire what it was, and here they are in one slim volume that is entertaining, educational and true to Gibbon's masterpiece.
