Popular history, written in several volumes, still read today after over 200 years. This should be an easy one for you.

The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire

PatH, I guess I did say easy. Can you believe that the first of Gibbon's volumes was printed in 1776?

Gibbon believed that the downfall of the Roman Empire was caused by the loss of "civic virtue" which permitted a growing dependence on "barbarian mercenaries" to defend the Empire. He also believed that the growing popularity of Christianity contributed to the decline because of its focus away from instant gratification and towards the delayed gratification of heavenly rewards.

Congrats PatH for getting that so fast!

I'm impressed, Frybabe! Interesting. I checked our libraries and there is only one copy in all our southern Calif. libraries, and it's been checked out. 1,258 pages!
