Detailed explanation-1: -Diocletian was the first emperor to divide the Roman Empire into a Tetrarchy. In 286 he elevated Maximian to the rank of Augustus (emperor) and gave him control of the Western Empire while he himself ruled the East.
Detailed explanation-2: -Constantine enacted another change that helped accelerate the fall of the Roman Empire. In 330 C.E., he split the empire into two parts: the western half centered in Rome and the eastern half centered in Constantinople, a city he named after himself.
Detailed explanation-3: -In AD 286 the Roman Empire was split into eastern and western empires, each ruled by its own emperor. The western empire suffered several Gothic invasions and, in AD 455, was sacked by Vandals. Rome continued to decline after that until AD 476 when the western Roman Empire came to an end.
Detailed explanation-4: -Diocletian sought to bring order into the economy by controlling wages and prices and by initiating a currency reform based upon a new gold piece, the aureus, struck at the rate of 60 to the pound of gold. The controls failed and the aureus vanished, to be succeeded by Constantine’s gold solidus.
