This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1850 edition. Excerpt: ...himself as governor of Syria, was envied by the emperor for his achievements, and dreaded for his power. He _..... Dion. lix. was ordered, therefore, to return from his province, Tac. Ann. vi. and would have been put to death, if he had not suet. viteii. 2. softened Caius by the most base and impious adulation. Having approached him in an humble dress, he fell at his feet, shed tears, saluted and reverenced him as a god, and vowed, that if his life was saved, he would offer him sacrifices. For this impious adoration, which he was the first of the Romans to practise, he was not only rewarded with his life, but was admitted to the favour and friendship of Caius. On another occasion, when the emperor, who pretended to have an amour with the moon, asked him if he had seen him in the company of that goddess, Vitellius, casting down his eyes, and pretending great awe, replied, " You gods cannot be lawfully seen except by one another."

Gibbon offers an explanation for why the Roman Empire fell, a task made difficult by a lack of comprehensive written sources, though he was not the only historian to tackle the subject. Most of his ideas are directly taken from what few relevant records were available: those of the Roman moralists of the 4th and 5th centuries.
