Originally published in the 18th century, Edward Gibbon's classic work still retains its place in history as one of the first 'modern histories.' Using primary documents, Gibbons advocated the now-traditional interpretation of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire due to Roman decadence and loss of virtue.
