There was no such thing as a reign of terror in the Roman Empire
Diocletian did not need to save the Roman Empire. The empire had already been saved earlier by Aurelian who defeated various peoples who were invading it (the Goths, Vandals, Juthungi, Sarmatians, and Carpi) and reunited it by defeating two breakaway parts of the empire: Palmyrene Empire and the Gallic Empire. Diocletian realised that one man could not rule the Roman Empire on his own. There were conflicts in virtually every province of the empire. Therefore, he created what historians have called the tetrarchy (rule by four). In 285 he created a co-emperorship with himself in charge of the eastern part of the empire and his fellow general Maximian in charge of the western part. He designated Nicomedia (in north-western Turkey) as the imperial capital of the eastern part and Milan (in northern Italy) as the imperial capital of the western part. In 293 Diocletian appointed two junior emperors (Caesars) who were subordinates of the two senior ones (Augusti). Constantius was put in charge of Gaul (in the western part of the empire) and Galerius was put in charge European territories in the eastern part of the empire (the Balkan Peninsula). With this arrangement Diocletian was in Charge of the Roman territories in Asia and Egypt and eastern Libya and Maximian was in charge of Italy, Spain and Portugal and north-western Africa. The task of the two junior emperors was to defend the most troubled parts of the Roman frontiers: the river Rhine in the west and the river Danube in the east. Augusta Trevorum (Triers) in Gaul and Sirmium (Sremska Mitrovica) in Serbia were also designated as imperial capitals as the seats of the two Caesars.

When the emperor died he had two sons. Because when a man died, his belongings would go to his sons, the empire was divided in two halves. Each son of the roman emperor got a halve of the empire. If he would have had 3 sons, it would have been divided in 3 parts.

The Roman government took various measures to unify the empire. They implemented a system of law known as the "Roman law" that applied across the empire, providing legal consistency. They also built an extensive network of roads and infrastructure to facilitate communication and trade. Additionally, they promoted the use of the Latin language as a unifying factor across the diverse provinces of the empire.
You have to be more specific as to what you mean by the "Byzantine Empire". If you are asking about the eastern part of the Roman empire, which historians have dubbed "Byzantine" (after the city of Byzantium), be aware that there was no such thing. It was the Roman empire-- period. Historians used the term Byzantine when they were referring to the eastern parts of the Roman empire in order to differentiate between the two areas of the empire.
