Summary "Storia della decadenza e rovina dell'impero romano, volume 04" by Edward Gibbon is a historical account written in the early 19th century. This volume focuses on the pivotal conversion of Emperor Constantine to Christianity, examining its motivations, progression, and impact on the Roman Empire and the establishment of the Christian Church. Gibbon elaborates on the multifaceted influences surrounding this historic event, mapping a narrative of political maneuvering intertwined with the rise of a new religious paradigm. The opening of the work presents a detailed exploration of Constantine's conversion, beginning with the varying accounts and contradictions regarding its timing and implications. Gibbon assesses the complexities of Constantine's personal beliefs, his initial allegiance to pagan traditions, and the gradual adoption of Christianity under both political pressures and personal convictions. The narrative highlights significant events such as the Edict of Milan, which officially granted religious tolerance to Christians, as well as the profound changes in the relationship between civil authority and the emerging ecclesiastical power, setting the stage for the transformation of the Roman Empire and the rise of Christianity as a dominant faith.
