After more than a decade of work, his response was the extraordinary "Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire", an indisputable classic both at a historiographical level, which begins at one of the peak moments of Rome and ends with the collapse of Byzantium, has maintained its validity and value until today. This edition collects the most relevant passages from this work, which was originally published in six volumes.
