Detailed explanation-1: -The Roman Empire had become too large to be ruled by one emperor by the third century (this was one of the causes of the Crisis of the Third Century). It was divided, by Emperor Diocletian, into a tetrarchy. This tetrarchy was then dissolved in favor of an Eastern and Western Roman Empire .
Detailed explanation-2: -Constantine I, aka Constantine the Great, was Roman emperor from 306 to 337 CE. Realizing that the Roman Empire was too large for one man to adequately rule, Emperor Diocletian (284-305 CE) split the empire into two, creating a tetrachy or rule of four.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Split Empire When Diocletian took the throne in 284 AD, he realised that the empire was now far too large to manage by himself. He decided he would split the empire into two parts, the Eastern Roman Empire and the Western Roman Empire.
