Of course not. Its good to have goals, tho
For me, the most memorable part of the Gibbon's book so far is the chapter about how after murdering the current emperor around 200 AD, the Praetorian Guard sold the empire off in a public auction to a new emperor, and then murdered him within 60 days. I think Im up to about 400 AD or 500 AD so far in this book, and 60 days seems to be about the average lifespan of a new emperor.
