For Hugh Trevor-Roper it remains 'the greatest historical work in our language'. The grandeur of its theme ranges over nearly fourteen hundred years of western history, from the Antonine emperors of AD A100 to the fall of Constantinople to the Turks in . Woven into its texture are the history of the Early Church, the dispersal of the Germanic peoples, the rise of Islam, the Dark Ages of Europe and the Crusades, all of which Gibbon saw as elements in a continuous process of change and development.
