History of the Decline and Fall Of The Roman Empire, Volume 4. by Edward Gibbon.

「對權力的熱愛最為強烈又不容共享，舉世尊榮的極致來自天下萬眾的臣服。」 雄霸一方的光輝國度，偉大不滅的盛世羅馬 看人類史上最威名遠播的西方帝國，如何走入墮落、衰亡的命運 羅馬帝國的衰亡，是人類歷史上最偉大、驚人的一幕。 這個壽命橫跨千年的龐大帝國，深遠地影響了後世。 它繁盛時的疆域廣闊無比，越過英吉利海峽西進英國，東伐敘利亞、埃及；它豐美的文化跨越國界線，以壓倒性的強勢姿態，改變了各地的飲食習慣、建築、藝術，甚至是宗教。 一個帝國的崛起、昌盛與衰亡，羅馬世界的禍福安危，除了天時與地利，皇帝的個人素質更是最為人矚目的重要影響；凱撒、奧古斯都、圖拉真、君士坦丁……這些聲明鑠金、驍勇善戰的帝王，至今仍為人津津樂道。但羅馬帝國的偉大不只在光明面，它晦暗的歷史也成為提點後世的珍貴教材；暴君圖蜜善、喀利古拉、尼祿，他們的殘虐無情、善變與揮霍，暴露了人性最原始邪惡與暴虐，與偉大君王的光輝相襯托，成為人們需時時警覺的暗影。 吉朋的《羅馬帝國衰亡史》梳理羅馬一千三百年的歷史軌跡，洋洋灑灑六大冊，精選本擷取六卷精華，凝縮成一冊，以對帝國自身和帝國對外影響最鉅的三方面為本：1....
