Rome gets organised and expands it's empire.
Too much bread, circus and not enough civic virtue.
Rome falls to the Barbarians.

Take that Gibbon, you long-winded twat.

I won't hear a word against Gibbon
Bananas and coconuts nourished him in youth
Provided with strength to write his epic
he is now misunderstood by many

But did he like breasts?
And also, who is he?

I'm not sure if he liked breasts
I think he did though. The Gibbon who wrote 'The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire'

He did suffer from an ailment* that makes...
...one's conker bag swell to Buster-Gonad(ish) proportions. Apparently at the time of his death they were the size of honeydew melons.
*'hydrocele testes' for all you fans of disfigured bollocks.
