Gibbon: 'Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire' chapters 15 and 16 (link)
I've read a few things on the decline phase of the Roman empire. There is a pretty good book called 'The Fall of the Roman Empire' by Peter Heather that I enjoyed. One of my all time favorite time travel books, 'Lest Darkness Fall', involves a modern man (well, 1939 modern) who is instantly transported to sixth century Rome. He has to try and figure out how to use his knowledge of superior technology to help him. Simply a great read.
