Diocletian
Rome was officially divided into the Western Roman Empire and the Eastern Roman Empire in 285 AD by Emperor Diocletian. This division was formalized to improve governance and address the challenges of managing such a vast empire.
One of the great leaders of Ancient Rome, Diocletian served as Emperor in the years 284 to 305 AD (or, CE). While engaging in numerous social, political, and military reforms during his reign, the government of Rome remained an absolutist one, where final power rested in the hands of the supreme emperor (or, as Diocletian eventually arranged, co-emperors) at the top of the complex bureaucratic and legal administration that enforced imperial policies.
Diocletian implemented significant reforms to stabilize and improve the Roman Empire's economy, including the introduction of the Edict on Maximum Prices, which aimed to curb inflation by setting price limits on goods and services. He also reorganized the empire's provinces to improve administrative efficiency and instituted a new tax system based on land and population, ensuring more consistent revenue collection. Additionally, Diocletian strengthened the military and reinforced borders to protect trade routes, facilitating economic stability. His efforts collectively aimed to restore order and enhance the empire's economic resilience in the face of internal and external challenges.
