| Summary | "Storia della decadenza e rovina dell'impero romano, volume 02" by Edward Gibbon is a historical account written in the late 18th century. The work dives into the rise and fall of the Roman Empire, scrutinizing the various political and military events that contributed to its decline. This volume particularly focuses on the reigns of several emperors, detailing their successes and failures in stabilizing the crumbling empire against both internal and external threats. The opening of this volume introduces the tumultuous reigns of emperors Valeriano and Gallieno, which left the empire vulnerable to numerous adversities, including military usurpation and barbarian invasions. It describes the emergence of strong leaders like Claudio and Aureliano, who rose from martial provinces to rejuvenate the military discipline and restore the empire's borders. As tensions heighten, Gibbon details political intrigues, battles against external foes like the Goths, and the eventual challenges faced by these emperors, setting the stage for a complex narrative of power struggles and the quest to reclaim the glory of Rome.
