Brandon Paulus’s Reviews > By Edward Gibbon - Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire: Volumes 1-3, Volumes 4-6 (Everyman's Library) > Status Update

Started Volume IV

Rankings:
Vol. 2: Constantine, Julian, Christianity
Vol. 1: Pax Romana, Military take over, Diocletian
Vol. 3: Lots of bad emperors, so many barbarians

Finished Volume 3! 527 pages. Interesting look at Christianity and a few good emperors but for the most part lots of repetitive bad ones. And so many crazy groups of barbarians

Finished Volume II 592 pages. It was good enjoyed the looks at Constantine and Julian the most and some of the church history

Page 205 of volume 2

Finished volume 1

So far I have enjoyed volume 1 more than I thought for something written in 1776. Gibbons keeps a decent narrative that keeps my interest
