Niall Ferguson, Western Civilisation: Decline – or Fall?
The Roman Empire did not decline and fall over a millennium, as Gibbon's monumental work seemed to suggest.
It collapsed within a few decades in the early fifth century, tipped over the edge of chaos by barbarian invaders and internal divisions.
One minute rulers had legitimacy in the eyes of their people; the next they did not.
