There was only one Roman Empire.
The Christians stared being persecuted under emperor Nero who used them as a scapegoat. Then there were alternations of periods of persecution and periods of toleration. Emperor Decius (ruled 249-51) started a very severe persecution of Christians which has been called the Decian Persecution. His son and successor, Gallus (ruled 251-53) resumed the persecution, though this time it was milder. Emperor Valerian (ruled 253-260) issued an edict of persecution in 258, ordered the Christian clergy to perform sacrifices to the Roman gods or be banished. Then he ordered the execution of Christian leaders and Christian senators to perform the worship of Roman gods or lose their title and their property or even be executed. Civil servants who did not worship Roman gods were reduced to slavery. Emperor Gallienus (ruled 260-68) issued edict of toleration of Christianity.
The worse persecution of Christian was the great Persecution unleashed by emperor Diocletian in 303. It was ended by the Edict of Toleration by (emperor) Galerius of 311 which declared Christianity a tolerated religion and established freedom of worship, and the Edict of Milan signed by co-emperors Constantine the great and Licinius. The latter reiterated the toleration of Christianity and established compensation by the state for the return of property which had been confiscated from the Christians during the persecution. There were not any Christian persecution after this.

Who split the roman empire into two parts in ad 330?
Constantine split the Roman Empire into the Holy Roman Empire and the Byzantine Empire. It should be noted however that the emperor Diocletian (284-305 AD ) made this easier as he was the first to divide the empire into two parts, a western and eastern empire to be ruled separately. The emperors who followed Constantine, Julian and Theodosius I, made permanent the division of the Roman Empire into an eastern and western half.

What was the social structure of the byzantine empire in 395?
The Byzantine Empire was a continuation of the Roman Empire. Its citizens even called themselves Romans. Two dates-A.D. 330 and A.D. 476-are given for the formation of the Byzantine Empire, which often had shifting boundaries and was centered in Asia Minor (a peninsula in the western part of Asia) and the Balkan Peninsula (in southeast Europe). The 476 date is calculated according to the death of the last Roman emperor Theodosius the Great (347-395) in 395. At that time the Roman Empire was divided into two parts, East and West. Rome, the former capital of the Roman Empire, was located in the West Roman Empire, which came under repeated attacks from nomadic barbarian groups (wandering tribes noted for their brutality). Rome finally fell in 476, and the East Roman Empire survived as the Byzantine Empire. Much of the West Roman Empire was then absorbed into the Byzantine Empire.
How was the art of the eastern and Western roman empire?
The art of the eastern and western parts of the Roman Empire were similar because in both parts of this empire it was Greco-Roman art. This is a term which indicates the fact that Roman art became heavily influenced by Greek art. Greek art had already influenced the eastern Mediterranean before it was taken over by the Romans because the Greeks had ruled this area for three hundred years prior to this. The Romans spread Greco-Roman art in the western part of the empire. It has to be noted that, however, many of the local peoples in the empire retained their traditional art.

How was Diocletian and Constantine different?
Diocletian and Constantine differed primarily in their approaches to governance and the Roman Empire's structure. Diocletian is known for implementing the Tetrarchy, dividing the empire into four regions governed by co-emperors to enhance administration and security. In contrast, Constantine centralized power, becoming the sole ruler and moving the capital to Byzantium, later named Constantinople, which became a cultural and political center. Additionally, Constantine is noted for his Edict of Milan in 313 AD, which granted religious tolerance to Christians, while Diocletian persecuted Christians during his reign.
Under which Roman emperors were Christians persecuted?
It seems likely that Decius (249-251) was the first Roman emperor to officially persecute Christians.AnswerYou could loosely say it was Nero, although he did not persecute them for their faith, but for the crime of arson. Some authorities say there was a persecution under the emperor Domitian, other doubt this. The major persecutions came under the emperors Decius, Valerian and Diocletian.
What event ended the eastern roman empire?
The event which ended the Eastern Roman Empire was the conquest of Constantinople by the Ottoman Turks in 1453. However, by then this empire had already became defunct as the Ottomans had taken over its remaining lands in the Balkan Peninsula (south-eastern Europe) between 1354 and 1430 and by then it was a so-called empire which was restricted to Constantinople and its environs. It has to be noted that Western Roman Empire and Eastern Roman Empire are terms which have been coined by historians. The Romans did not use these terms. They just said Roman Empire. The term Romania (which was related to this empire and not the present day country) also came into use in the Middle Ages. Historians have also coined the term Byzantine Empire to indicate the eastern part of the Roman Empire after the fall of the western part. The term Byzantine is derived from Byzantium, the Greek city which was redeveloped, turned into the imperial capital of the eastern part of the Roman Empire and renamed Constantinople by the emperor Constantine the Great in 330. It is used to indicate the fact that not long after the fall of the west, this empire became centred on Greece and Greek in character after it lost most of its non-Greek territories. Greek replaced Latin as the official language of this empire in 620, some 150 years after the fall of the west.
