Detailed explanation-1: -The Roman Empire was divided into an eastern half and a western half in 285 CE by the Emperor Diocletian. It was the Emperor Constantine in 330 CE, however, who moved the capital of the Roman Empire to Byzantium (Constantinople), in the Eastern Roman Empire.
Detailed explanation-2: -Who was Diocletian? Answer: Diocletian was an emperor who ruled from 284-305 in the fourth century.
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: -The Tetrarchy was established in 293 CE by the Emperor Diocletian. It consisted of four different rulers, two head emperors (originally Diocletain and Maximian) and two junior emperors (originally Constantius and Galerius). These four Emperors spit the empire into four districts and each ruled separately.
