The Eternal Decline and Fall of Rome

This book traces the development and use of the rhetoric of Roman decline and renewal from the Roman Republic to the present day.

It explores how this narrative has been employed by various figures, including Roman politicians, Christian emperors, and modern leaders, to justify power, blame others for decline, and promise renewal.

The book covers the historical context of Roman decline and fall, its impact on Western history, and its continued relevance in contemporary discourse.
