The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, Vol. 2 mobi 下载 网盘 caj lrf pdf txt 阿里云

Edward Gibbon's six-volume History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire (1776-88) is among the most magnificent and ambitious narratives in European li***ture. Its subject is the fate of one of the world's greatest civilizati*** over thirteen centuries - its rulers, wars and society, and the events that led to its disastrous collapse. Here, in volumes three and four, Gibbon vividly recounts the waves of barbarian invaders under commanders such as Alaric and Attila, who overran and eventually destroyed the West. He then turns his gaze to events in the East, where even the achievements of the Byzantine emperor Justinian and the campaigns of the brilliant military leader Belisarius could not conceal the fundamental weaknesses of their empire.

If Caesar had executed his plan to compile the books of the ancient jurisc***ults, he would have done it much better than Justinian, who was not firm enough.

The sovereign of that empire assumed, and obstinately retained, the vain, and at length fictitious, title of Emperor of the ROMANS; and the hereditary appellati*** of CAESAR and ***GUSTUS continued to declare, that he was the legitimate successor of the first of men, who had reigned over the first of nati***.
