Böcker i Early Sources in Classics-serien

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.

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.
