Edward Gibbon's account of the Roman Empire was in its time a landmark in classical and historiographical scholarship and remains a contribution to the interpretation of Roman history. This six-volume set reprints the third edition, complete with improved layout and textual revisions.

First published in the 19th century, this five-volume work has continued as a core work in the field of Roman studies. It ranges from the period before the abolition of the monarchy up to the establishment of the military monarchy.
