Satyricon-y links
Vaguely related to Satyricon:
Arthur Herman's The Idea of Decline in Western History. It's, well, about the idea of decline. I recall it being fairly readable (but I read it nearly ten years ago, I guess), and it may well be full of dubious claims that someone who knew more relevant stuff would argue with fiercely.
Everyone and their dog has a pet theory on why the Roman Empire collapsed, apparently.
