There was no such thing as a United Roman Empire, no such title ever occurred. There was always just one title: Roman Empire. This empire was never divided. There had been alternations of periods of co-emperorship and periods with a sole emperor. In the early days of co-emperorship, this involved an emperor in charge of the east or west and his son in charge of the other part as a co-emperor. Later there were times when the co-emperors were brothers. Not long before Constantine's bid for power, the emperor Diocletian created the tetrarchy (rule by four) where the empire was ruled by two senior emperors (Augusti, plural, Augustus, singular) and two junior emperors (Caesar(s)). Each of these men was in charge of one the four administrative units of the empire which Diocletian had created: the praetorian prefectures. These were subunits of a sole empire.
Constantine was the sole emperor of the Roman Empire for thirteen years, from 324 to his death in 337.
In 306 Constantine became the Caesar of the praetorian prefecture of Galliae (Britain, Gaul and Hispania). In 309 he declared himself Augustus of the west, but was not actually in charge of the whole of the west because Maxentius, a usurper, was in charge of the praetorian prefecture of Italia et Africa. In 312 Constantine defeated Maxentius in a civil war and became effectively the Augustus of the west until 324. In 324 he won a civil war against his co-emperor, Licinius, the Augustus of the east, and become sole emperor.
