		History Of The Decline And Fall Of The Roman Empire Volume 5 by Edward Gibbon, Esq.
		The Roman pontiffs, of the ninth and tenth centuries, were insulted, imprisoned, and murdered, by their tyrants; and such was their indigence, after the loss and usurpation of the ecclesiastical patrimonies, that they could neither support the state of a prince, nor exercise the charity of a priest.
		The empire of Charlemagne and Otho was distributed among the dukes of the nations or provinces, the counts of the smaller districts, and the margraves of the marches or frontiers, who all united the civil and military authority as it had been delegated to the lieutenants of the first Cæsars.

	Decline of the Roman Empire - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The decline of the Roman Empire, also called the fall of the Roman Empire, is a historical term of periodization that describes the collapse of the Western Roman Empire.
		Heather maintains the Roman imperial system with its sometimes violent imperial transitions and problematic communications notwithstanding, was in fairly good shape during the first, second, and part of the third centuries A.D. According to Heather, the first real indication of trouble was the emergence in Iran of the Sassanid Persian empire (226-651).
		In contrast with the "declining empire" theories, historians such as Arnold J. Toynbee and James Burke argue that the Roman Empire itself was a rotten system from its inception, and that the entire Imperial era was one of steady decay of its institutions.

		About the Authors: Edward Gibbon (1737-1794) was inspired to write The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire while on a trip to Rome in 1764.
		It is history in the grand eighteenth-century manner, a well-researched drama charged with insight, irony, and incisive character analysis.
		While subsequent research revealed minor factual errors about the early Empire, Gibbon's bold vision, witty descriptions of a vast cast of characters, and readiness to display his own beliefs and prejudices result in an astonishing work of history and literature, at once powerfully intelligent and enormously entertaining.

	Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire
		From the Roman Empire through the fall of the eastern empire (Gibbon, 6 volumes) change the scene to Spain, which began to form with the marriage of Ferdinand and Isabella about the time that the Turks sacked Constantinople.
		Secretly conscious that the applause and favour or the Romans accompanied the rising fortunes of Julian, his discontented mind was prepared to receive the subtle poison of those artful sycophants who coloured their mischievous designs with the fairest appearances of truth and candour.
		Under the mild and generous influence of liberty, the Roman empire might have remained invincible and immortal; or if its excessive magnitude, and the instability of human affairs, had opposed such perpetual continuance, its vital and constituent members might have separately preserved their vigour and independence.

		After the fall of the Roman empire in the West, an interval of fifty years, till the memorable reign of Justinian, is faintly marked by the obscure names and imperfect annals of Zeno, Anastasius, and Justin, who successively ascended to the throne of Constantinople.
		From the shades of Tibur and Praeneste, the Roman senators still retired in the winter season to the warm sun, and salubrious springs of Baiae; and their villas, which advanced on solid moles into the Bay of Naples, commanded the various prospect of the sky, the earth, and the water.

		Edward Gibbon's History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire was originally published in six volumes--71 chapters--issued as follows: 1 volume in 1776, two more volumes in 1781, and three concluding volumes in 1788.
		That freedom for the reader would presumably be unacceptable to a truly "neoclassical" artist, but though Gibbon's history is carefully structured, that structure is not like a classical or neoclassical building, with an inflexible plan, elaborate and fundamental symmetry, and singularity of effect and prospect.
		The foundational principle of the Decline and Fall, in contrast, is internal cross-reference, in both details and broad outlines.
