Because it was too large to be ruled in full
Diocletian was the last Roman emperor to rule the entire empire. He ordered the shared rulership upon his retirement.
He was a Roman emperor but he mostly governed the Eastern half of the empire
In A.D. 284, Diocletian became emperor. He believed that the empire had grown too large and too complex for one ruler to handle. In the most significant reform, he divided the empire into 2 halfs. One was named Greek-speaking east and the other Latin-speaking west. He took the eastern half for himself and appointed a co-ruler named General Maximian for the western half.
Emperor Diocletian in CE 285. However, the empire was reunified for short periods of time, like the reign of Emperors Constantine, Julian the Apostate, and Theodosius I. Also, the Eastern Empire had re-invaded the Western Empire during the reign of Justinian I and tried to recreate and rebuild the empire, but with his death the Western part of the Byzantine Empire was retaken by Barbarians.

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.
