"It was at Rome on the 15th October 1764, as I sat musing amidst
the ruins of the Capitol, while the bare-footed friars were singing
vespers in the Temple of Jupiter, that the idea of writing the
decline and fall of the city first started in my mind." This is the
description by Gibbon of the work that was to occupy him for over
20 years. At a time when the materials for this history were scant,
Gibbon's was able to absorb everything known on the subject and
dominate it with his historical erudition and literary style. This
six-volume boxed set reprints the third edition, complete with
improved layout, textual revisions and additional footnotes.
