The Roman Empire split into the Western Roman Empire and the Eastern Roman Empire primarily due to administrative and logistical challenges in governing its vast territories. By the late 3rd century AD, Emperor Diocletian enacted reforms that divided the empire into smaller, more manageable regions, a process further solidified by Constantine the Great, who established Constantinople as the capital of the Eastern Empire. This division allowed for more localized governance but ultimately led to divergent political, cultural, and economic developments, culminating in the fall of the Western Roman Empire in 476 AD while the Eastern Empire, or Byzantine Empire, continued for nearly another thousand years.
During the decline of the Roman Empire, the empire was split into a western and eastern half. The capital of the western half was Rome, until it was invaded and captured by the visa-goths from modern day Germany. The eastern half was centered around Constantinople or modern day Istanbul After the collapse of the eastern empire, the western half was renamed the Byzantine Empire. So the Byzantine Empire was the eastern half of the Roman Empire.
Diocletian took the throne in 284CE. One of his first orders was to split the Roman Empire into two parts, the Eastern and the Western Roman Empire. He kept the Eastern part and gave the Western part to his friend Maximian.
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.
