The Romans Empire was not split into separate sections. In 286 the emperor Diocletian created a co-emperorship and designated Milan (in Italy) as the imperial capital of the western part of the Roman Empire and Nicomedia (in northwestern Turkey) as the imperial capital of the Western part of the Roman Empire. Rome became the nominal capital of the whole empire. West and east were administrative subdivisions of a single empire which, Diocletian stressed, was indivisible. Other subdivisions were some two hundred provinces which were grouped into 12 dioceses.
IN 395 the eastern and western part of the Roman Empire became separated because of circumstances, not because of a decision to split it. It happened because the sons of Theodosius I, Arcadius (who was in charge of the eastern part) and Honorius (who was in charge of the western part) were young and inexperienced and politicians in the two parts of the empire took advantage of this to conspire against each other. Most importantly, the western part soon begun to crumble under the weight of the Germanic invasions and then fell. The eastern part of the empire was not affected by these invasions and continued to exist for another 1,000 years.
Historians have coined the terms Western Roman Empire and Eastern Roman Empire. The Romans did not use these terms. The only had one term; Roman Empire. Historians have also coined the term Byzantine Empire to indicate the eastern part of the Roman Empire after the fall of the western part.

If you are referring to the Roman empire, no one split it into two pieces or two parts. The emperor Diocletian divided it into four parts which was called the tetrarchy. It was later historians that gave the false impression that the empire was split.

I'm certainly not portraying myself as an expert of Roman history, but what I remember from my history classes and the multitude of History Channel episodes on Rome, I believe the main reason was that it was the only way to manage what had become a huge empire. It was simply too large and too involved for one person to effectively control.Diocletian decided that the empire was too big for one person to govern so he split the empire in two and instated a co-emperor.
