Diocletian was the last Roman emperor to rule the entire empire. He ordered the shared rulership upon his retirement.
He basically split the empire in half east and west. The east's capital was Rome and the west's was the city later called Constantinople.
Although both called themselves Roman, the west was Italian and the east was Greek. The west was taken over by the incoming barbarians, the east held out for many centuries longer calling itself Rome.
During the later periods of the Roman Empire, there was one "ruler" or emperor of the western half and one emperor of the eastern half. The eastern half would later be referred to as the Byzantine Empire. The original ruler of the eastern Rome, and the man who introduced the split was Diocletian. His western counter part was Maximian.
