Part 1 charts the gradual collapse of Roman rule, from Augustus (23 BC to AD 14) to the first of the Barbarian kings, Odoacer (476-490 AD). Gibbon documents not only their corruption and depravity, but also the great achievements of the emperors. The music includes overtures by Schumann and symphonies by Raff.
