About This Book

Il volume ricostruisce gli avvenimenti politici, militari e religiosi dell'Impero romano in seguito alla morte di Giuliano: la breve reggenza di Gioviano e le sue misure per la Chiesa, l'elezione di Valentiniano e l'associazione di Valente con la definitiva divisione degli imperi, la ribellione di Procopio e le tensioni fra autorità civile ed ecclesiastica. Descrive campagne contro i Germani e incursioni barbariche, l'amministrazione delle province come la Britannia e l'Africa, le questioni dogmatiche che coinvolgono figure ecclesiastiche come Atanasio, e le turbolenze che conducono alla morte di Valentiniano e alla successione di Graziano e Valentiniano II.

About the Author

Gibbon, Edward portrait

Edward Gibbon

Edward Gibbon (1737–1794) was an English historian and Member of Parliament, best known for his monumental work, "The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire." This six-volume series, published between 1776 and 1788, is celebrated for its rigorous analysis and eloquent prose, providing a comprehensive account of the Roman Empire's trajectory from the height of its power to its eventual collapse. Gibbon's exploration of the causes behind the decline, including the role of Christianity and internal decay, has influenced historical scholarship for centuries. His work remains a cornerstone of Western historical literature, reflecting the Enlightenment ideals of reason and inquiry.
